  子曰：「不得中行而与之，必也狂狷乎！狂者进取，狷者有所不为也。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

  Zǐyuē: “Bù dé zhōngxíng ér yǔ zhī, bì yě kuángjuàn hū! Kuáng zhě jìnqǔ, juàn zhě yǒu suǒ bùwèi yě.”
  The Master said, "Since I cannot get men pursuing the due medium, to whom I might communicate my instructions, I must find the ardent and the cautiously-decided. The ardent will advance and lay hold of truth; the cautiously-decided will keep themselves from what is wrong."
