Analects of Confucius 14.30

translated from Classical Chinese by James Legge, 1893

The Master said, ‘The way of the superior man is threefold, but I am not equal to it. Virtuous, he is free from anxieties; wise, he is free from perplexities; bold, he is free from fear. 2. Tsze-kung said, ‘Master, that is what you yourself say.’
