Book 13: 《子路》 Zi Lu

《子路》 Passage 13.17

子夏為莒父宰,問政。子曰:「無欲速,無見小利。欲速,則不達;見小利,則大事不成。」

Legge Translation (1861)

Zixia, being governor of Jufu, asked about government. The Master said: "Do not be desirous to have things done quickly; do not look at small advantages. Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly. Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being brought to a successful termination."
