择其善者而改之

子贡问君子。子曰：“先行其言而后从之。”

2.13 Zigong asked what distinguished Junzi(a morally superior man).The Master said, “He acts before he speaks and then speaks in accordance with what he acts.”

[Reading] In this section Confucius described what he believed to be the distinct qualities a noble man should possess. He should be a man of erudition and great learning. More importantly, he never speaks before he acts. Rather, he keeps a low profile and always strives to fulfill what he promises. This is another way of saying that a noble man(Junzi)always matches his words with his actions.

古人如此重视自己说过的话，言行不一，认为是没有品德没有修养的事情。说过即是承诺，具有了道德的崇高性，而与自己人格想关联。

说过的话，具有约束性，以至于神圣性，是上古时期人类普遍现象。脱离了野蛮状态的人类，文明初萌，用什么力量来建立人群秩序，是人类作为一个物种生存所必需。原始自然法则丧失，人类需要新的方法来谋求生存。是信仰，是神的权威，是道德。
