Modern Chinese Guide

子路夜里住在石门。守城门的人问：从哪里来？子路说：从孔家来。守门人说：就是那个明知做不到却还要去做的人吗？

James Legge Translation

Tsze-lu happening to pass the night in Shih-man, the gatekeeper said to him, "Whom do you come from?" Tsze-lu said, "From Mr. K'ung." "It is he,—is it not?"—said the other, "who knows the impracticable nature of the times and yet will be doing in them."
