克念作聖
kè niàn zuō shèng
"If one is capable of reflection, one can act like a sage"
Man, am I falling behind on this project, and this blog in general. Oof. Anyway, this line comes from the 書經 Classic of Documents, according to Paar. 克念 can also be read as "control one's thoughts." I think it's safe to say that anyone worthy of being considered a sage is capable of reflection and can control their thinking, even if you go beyond the Confucian definitions of what constitutes sagacity.
