Analects of Confucius 1.11

translated from Classical Chinese by James Legge, 1893

The Master said, ‘While a man’s father is alive, look at the bent of his will; when his father is dead, look at his conduct. If for three years he does not alter from the way of his father, he may be called filial.’
