Tsze Han / 12

子贡曰，有美玉于斯，韫匵而藏诸，求善贾而沽诸。子曰，沽之哉，沽之哉，我待贾者也。

Modern Chinese Guide

子贡说：这里有一块美玉，是把它收藏在柜子里呢，还是找一个识货的商人卖掉呢？孔子说：卖掉吧，卖掉吧！我正在等待识货的人呢。

James Legge Translation

Tsze-kung said, "There is a beautiful gem here. Should I lay it up in a case and keep it? or should I seek for a good price and sell it?" The Master said, "Sell it! Sell it! But I would wait for one to offer the price."
