Chapter 17, Part 12 - Confucius

The Master said, "He who puts on an appearance of stern firmness, while inwardly he is weak, is like one of the small, mean people; yea, is he not like the thief who breaks through, or climbs over, a wall?"
~ James Legge translation via The Internet Classics Archive ~
