Chapter 11, Part 13 - Confucius

Some parties in Lu were going to take down and rebuild the Long Treasury.

Min Tsze-ch'ien said, "Suppose it were to be repaired after its old style; why must it be altered and made anew?"

The Master said, "This man seldom speaks; when he does, he is sure to hit the point."
