論語The Analects of Confucius

Book 13: 《子路》 Zi Lu

《子路》 Passage 13.21

子曰:「不得中行而與之,必也狂狷乎!狂者進取,狷者有所不為也。」

Legge Translation (1861)

The Master said: "Since I cannot get men pursuing the due medium, to whom I might communicate my instructions, I must find the ardent and the cautiously-decided. The ardent will advance and lay hold of truth; the cautiously-decided will keep themselves from what is wrong."
