子zǐ曰yuē，德dé之zhī不bù修xiū，学xué之zhī不bù讲jiǎng，闻wén义yì不bù能néng徒xǐ，不bú善shàn不bù能néng改gǎi，是shì吾wú忧yōu也yě。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：品德不去修养，学问不去讲习，听到合乎义理的事却不能去做，有了缺点不能改正，这些都是我所忧虑的。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "The leaving virtue without proper cultivation; the not thoroughly discussing what is learned; not being able to move towards righteousness of which a knowledge is gained; and not being able to change what is not good:—these are the things which occasion me solicitude."
