Confucius says...

"I have no hopes of meeting a sage. I would be content if I met someone who is a gentleman.

I have no hopes of meeting a good man. I would be content if I met someone who has constancy.

It is hard for a man to have constancy who claims to have when he is wanting, to be full when he is empty and to be comfortable when he is in straitened circumstances."

- Book VII, 26.
