齐景公问政于孔子,孔子对曰:“君君,臣臣,父父,子子。”公曰:“善哉!信如君不君,臣不臣,父不父,子不子,虽有粟,吾得而食诸?”
1The Duke Ching, of Ch'i, asked Confucius about government.
2Confucius replied, 'There is government, when the prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father is father, and the son is son.'
3'Good!' said the duke; 'if, indeed; the prince be not prince, the minister not minister, the father not father, and the son not son, although I have my revenue, can I enjoy it?'
