孔子说：可以同他一起学习的人，未必可以同他一起追求道；可以同他一起追求道的人，未必可以同他一起坚守道；可以同他一起坚守道的人，未必可以同他一起通权达变。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "There are some with whom we may study in common, but we shall find them unable to go along with us to principles. Perhaps we may go on with them to principles, but we shall find them unable to get established in those along with us. Or if we may get so established along with them, we shall find them unable to weigh occurring events along with us."

This is a token-free local reflection box. It calls no model, uploads no question, and only uses this passage, its guide, and fixed rules.
