Hsien Wan / 2

克，伐，怨，欲，不行焉，可以为仁矣。子曰，可以为难矣，仁则吾不知也。

Modern Chinese Guide

有人说：好胜、自夸、怨恨、贪欲，这几样都不表现出来，可以算是仁了吧。孔子说：这可以算是难能可贵了，至于是不是仁，我就不知道了。

James Legge Translation

1. "When the love of superiority, boasting, resentments, and covetousness are repressed, this may be deemed perfect virtue." 2. The Master said, "This may be regarded as the achievement of what is difficult. But I do not know that it is to be deemed perfect virtue."
