孔子说：学习了道理，并且按时温习、实践，不也是令人喜悦的吗？有志同道合的朋友从远方来，不也是令人快乐的吗？别人不了解自己，自己却不怨恨，不也是君子吗？

James Legge Translation

1. The Master said, "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? 2. "Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? 3. "Is he not a man of complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?"
