Tsze-kung asked what constituted the superior man.The Master said,"He acts before he speaks,and afterwards speaks according to his actions." The Master said,"The superior man is catholic and not partisan.The mean man is partisan and not catholic." The Master said,"Learning without thought is labor lost;thought without learning is perilous." The Master said,"The study of strange doctrines is injurious indeed!" The Master said,"Yu,shall I teach you what knowledge is?When you know a thing,to hold that you know it;and when you do not know a thing,to allow that you do not know it;-this is knowledge."
