He does not put himself in the way of what is profitable, nor try to avoid what is hurtful; he has no pleasure in seeking (for anything from any one); he does not care to be found in (any established) Way; he speaks without speaking; he does not speak when he speaks; thus finding his enjoyment outside the dust and dirt (of the world)."' | | 《·》: | 夫子曰：“由，尔责于人，终无已夫？” | | (but) the Master said, 'You, will you never have done with your finding fault with people?' | | 《·》: | 子贡曰：“夫子之文章，可得闻也。” |
