Zizhang asked, "What must a scholar be like to be considered truly accomplished?" The Master said, "What do you mean by accomplished?" Zizhang replied, "One who is sure to be renowned in the state and renowned in the noble household." The Master said, "That is renown, not true accomplishment. One who is truly accomplished is upright in character and fond of righteousness, perceptive in reading words and observing expressions, and mindful of placing himself below others. Such a person will surely be accomplished in the state and accomplished in the noble household. As for the merely renowned, he puts on the outward appearance of benevolence while acting contrary to it, and dwells in that pretense without doubt. Such a person will have renown in the state, and renown in the noble household, but it is renown alone."
