Tzu King asked: “Has the nobler sort of man any hatreds?” The Master replied: “He has. He hates those who publish the faults of others; he hates men of low condition who vilify those above them; he hates those whose courage is unaccompanied by self-restraint; he hates those who are audacious but narrow-minded.” “And you, Tzu,” he added, “have you also your hatreds?
” “I hate,” replied the disciple, “those who think that wisdom consists in prying and meddling; courage, in showing no compliance; and honesty, in denouncing other men.”
