Shu R. / 33

子曰，若圣与仁，则吾岂敢，抑为之不厌，诲人不倦，则可谓云尔已矣。公西华曰，正唯弟子不能学也。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：说到圣与仁，那我怎么敢当呢？不过是朝着这个方向去做而永不满足，教导别人而不知疲倦，可以说就是这样罢了。公西华说：这正是我们弟子学不到的地方啊。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "The sage and the man of perfect virtue;—how dare I rank myself with them? It may simply be said of me, that I strive to become such without satiety, and teach others without weariness." Kung-hsi Hwa said, "This is just what we, the disciples, cannot imitate you in."
