第十七章

子夏為莒父宰，問政。子曰：「無欲速，無見小利。欲速則不達，見小利則大事不成。」

CHAPTER XVII.

Tsze-hsia, being governor of Chu-fu, asked about government. The Master said, 'Do not be desirous to have things done quickly; do not look at small advantages. Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly. Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being accomplished.'
