| 發言者：frank091 (Frank Saunders Jr) | There is the knowledge of the sage. There is the knowledge of the scholar and gentleman. There is the knowledge of the petty person. There is the knowledge of the servant:
When he makes many statements, he patterns and categorizes things, and to the end of the day can discuss that by which [they are so], his statements picking out thousands of myriad transformations, his control of the various kinds remains unified. This is the knowledge of the sage.
When he speaks less, he is narrow and economical. When he discusses, he uses models, as a craftsman uses his plumb-line. This is the knowledge of the scholar and gentleman.
His statements are flattery; his actions are perverse; his recommendations and works are often regretted. This is the knowledge of a petty person.
He is sick with anxiety, quick and expedient, but without the proper kinds. He has various abilities and is broadly learned, but he has no use. He is quick-witted and refined, but careless, not thinking of right and wrong, not discussing the crooked and straight, but uses those who best him to form his intentions. This is the knowledge of
the slave. |
