19 子罕:
子曰:「譬如為山,未成一簣,止,吾止也;譬如平地,雖覆一簣,進,吾往也。」
Zi Han:
The Master said, "The prosecution of learning may be compared to what may happen in raising a mound. If there want but one basket of earth to complete the work, and I stop, the stopping is my own work. It may be compared to throwing down the earth on the level ground. Though but one basketful is thrown at a time, the advancing with it is my own going forward."
