Hsien Wan / 12

子曰，孟公绰，为赵魏老则优，不可以为滕薛大夫。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：孟公绰做晋国赵氏、魏氏的家臣绰绰有余，却不能做滕国、薛国这样小国的大夫。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "Mang Kung-ch'o is more than fit to be chief officer in the families of Chao and Wei, but he is not fit to be great officer to either of the States Tang or Hsieh."
