Wei Ling Kung / 16

子曰，群居终日，言不及义，好行小慧，难矣哉。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：整天聚在一起，说的话都不合道义，又喜欢卖弄小聪明，这种人真难有出息啊。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "When a number of people are together, for a whole day, without their conversation turning on righteousness, and when they are fond of carrying out the suggestions of a small shrewdness;—theirs is indeed a hard case."
