第叁章﹕悌
Chapter Three﹕ FRATERNITY
兄道友，弟道恭，兄弟睦，孝在中。
財物輕，怨何生，言語忍，忿自泯。
或飲食，或坐走，長者先，幼者後。
長呼人，即代叫，人不在，己先到。
稱尊長，勿呼名，對尊長，勿見能。
路遇長，疾趨揖，長無言，退恭立。
騎下馬，乘下車，過猶待，百步余。
長者立，幼勿坐，長者坐，命乃坐。
尊長前，聲要低，低不聞，卻非宜。
事諸父，如事父，事諸兄，如事兄。

有一對聯語說得好﹕
天下無不是的父母，
無父母時方知；
世間最難得者弟兄 ，
有弟兄時不覺。
There is a couplet that says:
There is nothing in the world that does not come from parents;
we realize this only when we are without parents.
Brothers are the hardest to come by in the world.
But we don”t realize it when our brothers are around.
人倫肇始于父母，其次乃有兄弟師長，所以「孝悌」二者，斯爲倫理教育的基礎 。所謂「基」，是造屋的地基，要先奠定地基，房子才能夠搭蓋起來；礎，是屋柱的盤石，若不立穩盤石，房子就容易傾斜崩壞。但孝悌二者，卻又不是那麼狹義，只顧自己的父母兄弟而已；我們還要把「孝」擴充到伯叔諸舅，甚至一切長輩上，把「悌」也擴充到堂表兄弟姐妹，甚至一切同輩晚輩上…
