Sze-ma Niu asked about the superior man. The Master said, "The superior man has neither anxiety nor fear."Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
"Being without anxiety or fear!" said Nui; "does this constitute what we call the superior man?"
The Master said, "When internal examination discovers nothing wrong, what is there to be anxious about, what is there to fear?"
