貴いてゆきたい

05:55 Jan 29, 2009 

this is my private business. I am just reading a book in Japanese and trying to understand it. I think France-Japon provided a good reasoning for her suggestion; and the idea is basically the same as behind Aogara's or your own suggestion (which was clearly pointed by France-Japon). Anyway thank you very much for your participation; and have a nice day.

As I read your answer to mulberryfield, "and the sentence after it is: たとえそれがどんなに取るに足らない小事であっても、実行し続けたいものです。" it is painfully clear you have chosen wrong answer. Please do not put that in KudoZ entry nor in your translation.

If the character 貴 was used, it has to be 貴しとしてゆきたい (toutoshi-to-shite yukitai), and still a typo. Franco-Japon's answer is correct in that regard. But this is not pointed out in the answer. So I still believe neither asker nor answerer is on the right track.

Ok, I agree with those of you who mention that 貴く is highly possibly a typo of 貫く. For the rest, I think their answers help enough. -

The name of the book is いま足元の掃除がり (鍵山秀三郎先生のことば).
The sentence before: ２８、中国古曲の「易経」にある言葉です。小人は小善をもって益なしとし為さざるなり, 小悪をもって傷うことなしとして去らざるなり。
and the sentence after it is: たとえそれがどんなに取るに足らない小事であっても、実行し続けたいものです。Hope this helps

Where is this phrase from? What reference you may have? What about the contexts before and after it? You posted another question on the phrase from 易経, from which the above comment of the author looks like a bit deviated in interpretation. -
