《雍也》 Passage 6.18

子曰:「質勝文則野,文勝質則史。文質彬彬,然後君子。」

Legge Translation (1861)

The Master said: "Where the solid qualities are in excess of accomplishments, we have rusticity; where the accomplishments are in excess of the solid qualities, we have the manners of a clerk. When the accomplishments and solid qualities are equally blended, we then have the man of virtue."
