Confucius Institute at Pace University

子曰：“学而时习之，不说乎？有朋自远方来,

不亦乐乎？人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎？”

“Isn't it a pleasure to study and

practice what you have learned?

Isn’t it also great when friends visit

from distant places? If people don't

recognize me and it doesn’t

bother me, am I not a Superior Man?”


— Confucius, The Analects
