The Master said to Tsze-kung, "Which do you consider superior, yourself or Hui?"Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
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."
The Master said, "You are not equal to him. I grant you, you are not equal to him."
