First words |
1. The Master said, 'Is it not a pleasure, having learned something, to try it out at due intervals? Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar? Is it not gentlemanly not to take offense when others fail to appreciate your abilities?'  The Master said: "To learn, and then, in its due season, put what you have learned into practice—isn't that still a great pleasure?" (Hinton translation)  | |

Last words |
That a book of such a collection was probably due to the desire on the part of disciples of Yu Tzu, Tseng Tzu and Tzu-hsia to enhance the status of their own teachers in the Confucian school not only by including their sayings but by interspersing them amongst the sayings of the Master.
