子贡问：“师与商也孰贤？”子曰：“师也过，商也不及。”曰：“然则师愈与？”子曰：“过犹不及。”
1Tsze-kung asked which of the two, Shih or Shang, was the superior. The Master said, 'Shih goes beyond the due mean, and Shang does not come up to it.'
2'Then,' said Tsze-kung, 'the superiority is with Shih, I suppose.'
3The Master said, 'To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.'
