Author: Confucius (孔夫子); translated by James Legge
The Master said, Eating coarse rice and drinking water, with bent arm for pillow, we may be merry; but ill-gotten wealth and honours are to me a wandering cloud.
1. 子曰:「述而不作,信而好古,竊比於我老彭。」
The Master said, A teller and not a maker, one that trusts and loves the past; I might liken myself to our old P'eng.
