齊景公待孔子,曰:「若季氏則吾不能,以季、孟之閒待之。」曰:「吾老矣,不能用也。」孔子行。

Legge Translation (1861)

The Duke Jing of Qi, with reference to the manner in which he should treat Confucius, said: "I cannot treat him as I would the chief of the Ji family. I will treat him with a courtesy between that accorded to the chief of the Ji, and that given to the chief of the Meng family."

He also said: "I am old; I cannot use his doctrines." Confucius took his departure.
