Chapter 14, Part 37 - Confucius

The Master said, "Alas! there is no one that knows me."

Tsze-kung said, "What do you mean by thus saying that no one knows you?" The Master replied, "I do not murmur against Heaven. I do not grumble against men. My studies lie low, and my penetration rises high. But there is Heaven; that knows me!"
