論語The Analects of Confucius

Book 7: 《述而》 Shu Er (Transmission)

《述而》 Passage 7.8

子曰:「不憤不啟,不悱不發,舉一隅不以三隅反,則不復也。」

Legge Translation (1861)

The Master said: "I do not open up the truth to one who is not eager to get knowledge, nor help out any one who is not anxious to explain himself. When I have presented one corner of a subject to any one, and he cannot from it learn the other three, I do not repeat my lesson."
