Principle Principle
《述而》 子曰:不憤不啟,不悱不發,
舉一隅不以三隅反,則不復也。
The Master said, "I do not open up the truth to one who is
理
not eager to get knowledge, nor help out any one who is
not anxious to explain himself. When I have presented
one corner of a subject to any one, and he cannot from it
learn the other three, I do not repeat my lesson.” 理:治玉也。
