《泰伯》 Passage 8.5

曾子曰:「以能問於不能,以多問於寡;有若無,實若虛,犯而不校,昔者吾友嘗從事於斯矣。」

Legge Translation (1861)

The philosopher Zeng said: "Gifted with ability, and yet putting questions to those who were not so; possessed of much, and yet putting questions to those possessed of little; having, as though he had not; full, and yet affecting to be empty; offended against, and yet entering into no altercation: — formerly I had a friend who pursued this style of conduct."
