《憲問》 Passage 14.30

子曰:「不患人之不己知,患其不能也。」

Legge Translation (1861)

The Master said: "The way of the superior man is threefold, but I am not equal to it. Virtuous, he is free from anxieties; wise, he is free from perplexities; bold, he is free from fear."

Zigong said: "Master, that is what you yourself say of yourself."
