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.'
