Shu R. / 32

子曰,文,莫吾犹人也,躬行君子,则吾未之有得。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说:论书本上的学问,我大概和别人差不多;至于身体力行去做一个君子,那我还没有能够做到。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "In letters I am perhaps equal to other men, but the character of the superior man, carrying out in his conduct what he professes, is what I have not yet attained to."
