T'ai-po / 11

子曰，如有周公之才之美，使骄且吝，其余不足观也已。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：一个人即使有周公那样美好的才能，如果他骄傲又吝啬，那其余方面也就不值得一看了。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "Though a man have abilities as admirable as those of the Duke of Chau, yet if he be proud and niggardly, those other things are really not worth being looked at."
