子曰：「非其鬼而祭之，諂也。見義不為，無勇也。」
The Master said, "For a man to sacrifice to a spirit which does not belong to him is flattery. To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage."[The Master clearly indicated, "For a man to sacrifice to a supernatural being which does not approximate him is flattery. To see what is right and not to do it is just want of mettles."]
