Book 19: 《子張》 Zi Zhang
《子張》 Passage 19.3
子夏之門人問交於子張。子張曰：「子夏云何？」對曰：「子夏曰：『可者與之，其不可者拒之。』」子張曰：「異乎吾所聞：君子尊賢而容眾，嘉善而矜不能。我之大賢與，於人何所不容？我之不賢與，人將拒我，如之何其拒人也？」
Legge Translation (1861)
The disciples of Zixia asked Zizhang about the principles that should characterize mutual intercourse. Zizhang asked: "What does Zixia say on the subject?" They replied: "Zixia says:— 'Associate with those who can advantage you. Put away from you those who cannot do so.'" Zizhang observed: "This is different from what I have learned. The superior man honors the talented and virtuous, and bears with all. He praises the good, and pities the incompetent. Am I possessed of great talents and virtue?— who is there among men whom I will not bear with? Am I devoid of talents and virtue?— men will put me away from them. What have we to do with the putting away of others?"Discussion
