曾子曰：“以能问于不能，以多问于寡：有若无，实若虚；犯而不校。昔者吾友尝从事于斯矣。”
1The philosopher Tsang said, 'Gifted with ability, and yet putting questions to those who were not so; possessed of much, and yet putting questions to those possessed of little; having, as though he had not; full, and yet counting himself as empty; offended against, and yet entering into no altercation; formerly I had a friend who pursued this style of conduct.'
