（六）親仁
Being Close to Kind and Virtuous People
同是人。類不齊。流俗眾。仁者希。
We are all human beings, but we are not the same. Most of us are ordinary and only a few of us are kind and virtuous.
果仁者。人多畏。言不諱。色不媚。
Truly virtuous people are held in awe by others. They are not afraid to speak the truth and they do not fawn on others.
能親仁。無限好。德日進。過日少。
If we associate with and learn from people of great virtue, we will benefit greatly. Day by day our own virtues will grow and our faults will lessen.
不親仁。無限害。小人進。百事壞。
If we do not associate with and learn from these people, we will suffer a great loss. We will attract people without virtue, and nothing we do will succeed.
