Shu R. · 15

子zǐ曰yuē，饭fàn疏shū食sì飮yǐn水shuǐ，曲qū肱gōng而ér枕zhèn之zhī，乐lè亦yì在zài其qí中zhōng矣yǐ，不bú义yì而ér富fù且qiě贵guì，于yú我wǒ如rú浮fú云yún。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：吃粗粮，喝冷水，弯着胳膊当枕头，快乐也就在这中间了。用不正当的手段得来的富贵，对我来说就像天上的浮云一样。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow;—I have still joy in the midst of these things. Riches and honours acquired by unrighteousness, are to me as a floating cloud."
