26 述而:
子曰:「聖人,吾不得而見之矣;得見君子者,斯可矣。」子曰:「善人,吾不得而見之矣;得見有恆者,斯可矣。亡而為有,虛而為盈,約而為泰,難乎有恆矣。」
Shu Er:
The Master said, "A sage it is not mine to see; could I see a man of real talent and virtue, that would satisfy me." The Master said, "A good man it is not mine to see; could I see a man possessed of constancy, that would satisfy me. Having not and yet affecting to have, empty and yet affecting to be full, straitened and yet affecting to be at ease - it is difficult with such characteristics to have constancy."
