子曰，饭疏食飮水，曲肱而枕之，乐亦在其中矣，不义而富且贵，于我如浮云。
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."
