Is it not a pleasure, having learned something, to try it out at due intervals? Is it not a joy to have like-minded friends come from afar?
——D.C.Lau劉殿爵
To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is it not after all a pleasure? That friends should come to one from afar, is this not after all delightful?
——Arthur Waley韋利
It is indeed a pleasure to acquire knowledge and, as you go on acquiring, to put into practise what you have acquired. A greater pleasure still it is when friends of congenial minds come from afar to seek you because of your attainments.
