子曰，君子谋道不谋食，耕也，馁在其中矣，学也，禄在其中矣，君子忧道，不忧贫。
Modern Chinese Guide
孔子说：君子谋求的是道，不谋求衣食。耕田，也常会挨饿；求学，俸禄就在其中。君子只忧虑道能不能行，不忧虑贫穷。
James Legge Translation
The Master said, "The object of the superior man is truth. Food is not his object. There is plowing;—even in that there is sometimes want. So with learning;—emolument may be found in it. The superior man is anxious lest he should not get truth; he is not anxious lest poverty should come upon him."
