Yang Ho / 25

子曰，唯女子与小人，为难养也，近之则不孙，远之则怨。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：只有女子和小人是难以相处的，亲近了他们就会失去恭顺，疏远了他们就会心生怨恨。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "Of all people, girls and servants are the most difficult to behave to. If you are familiar with them, they lose their humility. If you maintain a reserve towards them, they are discontented."
