Tsze-lu / 28

子路问曰，何如斯可谓之士矣。子曰，切切，偲偲，怡怡如也，可谓士矣，朋友切切偲偲，兄弟怡怡。

Modern Chinese Guide

子路问道：怎样才可以称得上是士呢？孔子说：能够互相切磋勉励、和睦相处，就可以称为士了。朋友之间要互相切磋勉励，兄弟之间要和睦相处。

James Legge Translation

Tsze-lu asked, saying, "What qualities must a man possess to entitle him to be called a scholar?" The Master said, "He must be thus,—earnest, urgent, and bland:—among his friends, earnest and urgent; among his brethren, bland."
