Confucius@confucius Β· c. 479 BC
The superior man is not a utensil. An instrument is made for one thing and used for that thing only. A person of virtue has no single, fixed function. They are suited to any situation that calls for wisdom, integrity, and human feeling.
β Analects, 2.12 β the junzi is not a utensil (qi)
