君子九思(군자구사)

君子九思

《論語 季氏》 孔子曰： "君子有九思： 視思明，聽思聰，色思溫，貌思恭，言思忠，事思敬，疑思問，忿思難，見得思義。"
《논어 계씨》 공자왈： "군자유구사： 시사명，청사총，색사온，모사공，언사충，사사경，의사문，분사난，견득사의。"
Confucius said, "The superior man has nine things which are subjects with him of thoughtful consideration. In regard to the use of his eyes, he is anxious to see clearly. In regard to the use of his ears, he is anxious to hear distinctly. In regard to his countenance, he is anxious that it should be benign. In regard to his demeanor, he is anxious that it should be respectful. In regard to his speech, he is anxious that it should be sincere. In regard to his doing of business, he is anxious that it should be reverently careful. In regard to what he doubts about, he is anxious to question others. When he is angry, he thinks of the difficulties (his anger may involve him in). When he sees gain to be got, he thinks of righteousness."
군자는 자신에 대하여 아홉 가지를 생각한다. 볼 때는 분명하게 보는지를 생각한다. 들을 때에는 총명하게 듣는지를 생각한다. 안색에 대하여는 온화한지를 생각한다. 용모에 대하여는 공손한지를 생각한다. 언사에 대하여는 거짓이 없고 진실한지를 생각한다. 맡은 일을 처리할 때에는 주의깊고 진지한지를 생각한다. 의문이 들 때에는 다른 사람에게 물을 질문을 생각한다. 분노가 치밀어 오를 때에는 나중에 닥칠 후환(後患)을 생각한다. 이득을 얻게 될 때에는 의(義)로운지를 생각한다.
