Chapter 5, Part 24 - Confucius

The Master said, "Fine words, an insinuating appearance, and excessive respect; Tso Ch'iu-ming was ashamed of them. I also am ashamed of them. To conceal resentment against a person, and appear friendly with him; Tso Ch'iu-ming was ashamed of such conduct. I also am ashamed of it."
