The Height of Foresight: To See the Distant Calamity in the Present Whisper

Confucius said: “If a man is proof against both kinds of slander, he may be called farseeing.”

Yea, he with whom neither soaking slander, nor startling statements, are successful, may be called farseeing.

浸润之谮肤受之诉不行焉,可谓远也已矣。
