Tsze Han / 7

子曰，吾有知乎哉，无知也，有鄙夫问于我，空空如也，我叩其两端而竭焉。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：我有知识吗？其实我并没有多少知识。有个乡下人来问我问题，我本来一无所知，只是从问题的正反两头去追问，尽力把道理弄明白罢了。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "Am I indeed possessed of knowledge? I am not knowing. But if a mean person, who appears quite empty-like, ask anything of me, I set it forth from one end to the other, and exhaust it."
