Author: Confucius (孔夫子); translated by James Legge
The Master said, I hate those that take spying for wisdom, who take want of manners for courage, and take tale-telling for honesty.
陽貨第十七
BOOK XVII
17. 子曰:「巧言令色鮮矣仁。」
The Master said, Smooth words and fawning looks are seldom found with love.
18. 子曰:「惡紫之奪朱也,惡鄭聲之亂雅樂也,惡利口之覆邦家者。」
