子张学干禄，子曰：“多闻阙疑，慎言其余，则寡尤，多见阙殆，慎行其余，则寡悔。言寡尤，行寡悔，禄在其中矣。”
1Tsze-chang was learning with a view to official emolument.
2The Master said, 'Hear much and put aside the points of which you stand in doubt, while you speak cautiously at the same time of the others:-- then you will afford few occasions for blame. See much and put aside the things which seem perilous, while you are cautious at the same time in carrying the others into practice:-- then you will have few occasions for repentance. When one gives few occasions for blame in his words, and few occasions for repentance in his conduct, he is in the way to get emolument.'
