Confucius' grandson comments about the Way and human nature. Tr. Legge (en)
The Master said "Men all say, 'We are wise;' but being driven forward and taken in a net, a trap, or a pitfall, they know not how to escape. Men all say, 'We are wise;' but happening to choose the course of the Mean, they are not able to keep it for a round month."
Legge VII.
孔子说:“人人都说自己聪明,把他赶进网罟、槛笼、陷阱之中,却不知道躲避,人人都说自己聪明,好不容易选择了中庸之道,却连一个月都保持不住。”
