子在陈曰，归与归与，吾党之小子狂简，斐然成章，不知所以裁之。
Modern Chinese Guide
孔子在陈国时说：回去吧，回去吧！我家乡的那些年轻学生志向高远而行事疏阔，文采斐然，很有可观，只是还不知道怎样来裁正自己。
James Legge Translation
When the Master was in Ch'an, he said, "Let me return! Let me return! The little children of my school are ambitious and too hasty. They are accomplished and complete so far, but they do not know how to restrict and shape themselves."
