Book V 8

1 The Master said to Tsze-kung, ‘Which do you consider superior, yourself or Hui?’

2 Tsze-kung replied, ‘How dare I compare myself with Hui? Hui hears one point and knows all about a subject; I hear one point, and know a second.’

3 The Master said, ‘You are not equal to him. I grant you, you are not equal to him.’
