Chapter 8, Part 19 - Confucius

The Master said, "Great indeed was Yao as a sovereign! How majestic was he! It is only Heaven that is grand, and only Yao corresponded to it. How vast was his virtue! The people could find no name for it."

"How majestic was he in the works which he accomplished! How glorious in the elegant regulations which he instituted!"
~ James Legge translation via The Internet Classics Archive ~
