Solitude·Self-reliance, Confucius, the Analects of Confucius

善人 吾不得而見之矣. 得見有恒者 斯可矣。 亡而爲有 虛爲盈, 約而爲泰 難乎有恒矣。

- 孔子, 論語 述而 第七

A faultless man I cannot hope to meet. The most I can hope for is to meet a man of principles. I see the shallow pretending to be man of substance, the improvident pretending to be affluent, even a man of principles will not be easy to find.

- Confucius, the Analects of Confucius: Shu Er
