《公冶長》 Passage 5.9

子謂子貢曰:「女與回也孰愈?」對曰:「賜也何敢望回。回也聞一以知十,賜也聞一以知二。」子曰:「弗如也!吾與女弗如也。」

Legge Translation (1861)

The Master said to Zigong: "Which do you consider superior, yourself or Hui?"

Zigong replied: "How dare I compare myself with Hui? Hui hears one point and knows all about a subject; I hear one point, and know a second."

The Master said: "You are not equal to him. I grant you, you are not equal to him."
子貢 顏回
