 11 3 |       without satiety is what I call being wild. Delighting in wine

 37 10|            different kinds of grain, being the same in quantity; and
 38 11|             was three months without being employed by some ruler,

 42 11|             have not heard of anyone being thus earnest about being
 43 11|             being thus earnest about being in office. If there should

 45 11|        Mencius then concluded, 'That being the case, it is not the
 46 11|          which we suffer."~5. 'There being some who would not become

 56 13|          hating to be drunk, and yet being strong to drink wine!~1.
 57 13|             This is like a scholar's being ashamed to receive the commands
 58 13|           not seek to attain this by being benevolent. This is like
 59 14|         sovereign. There is a way of being trusted by one's friends: --

 73 17|           sorrow. The reason why the being the object of men's delight,
