Modern Chinese Guide

孔子对颜渊说：用我的时候就出来做事，不用的时候就把才能收藏起来，只有我和你能做到这样吧。子路说：如果您统率三军，那会和谁在一起呢？孔子说：赤手空拳去打老虎、不用船只徒步过河，死了都不后悔的人，我是不和他共事的。我一定要找那种遇到事情就谨慎戒惧、善于谋划而能把事情办成的人。

James Legge Translation

1. The Master said to Yen Yuan, "When called to office, to undertake its duties; when not so called, to lie retired;—it is only I and you who have attained to this." 2. Tsze-lu said, "If you had the conduct of the armies of a great State, whom would you have to act with you?" 3. The Master said, "I would not have him to act with me, who will unarmed attack a tiger, or cross a river without a boat, dying without any regret. My associate must be the man who proceeds to action full of solicitude, who is fond of adjusting his plans, and then carries them into execution."
