 Analects of Confucius - 12 - Yan Yuan 


The duke Ching, of Ch'î, asked Confucius about government.

Confucius replied, “There is government, when the prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father is father, and the son is son.”

“Good!” said the duke; “if, indeed, the prince be not prince, the not minister, the father not father, and the son not son, although I have my revenue, can I enjoy it?”
