《孔子家语·本命解》
男子，是担当天下大任而让万物生长的人，知道什么事情应该做，什么事情不应该做；什么事情应该说，什么事情不该说；什么事情可行，什么事情不可行。
男子者，任天道而长万物者也。知可为，知不可为；知可言，知不可言；知可行，知不可行者也。
A man is the one who takes up the great responsibility under heaven, causing all things to grow, knowing what is right and what is wrong, what should and should not be said, and what can and cannot be done.
