The Noblest Worry: Confucius on Why the Great Mind is Troubled by Principles, Not Possessions

By / / anxiety, concern, Dao, gentleman, mind, poverty, The Analects, Wei Ling Gong XV
Confucius said: “The gentleman is anxious about the Dao, not about poverty.”

The superior man is anxious lest he should not get truth; he is not anxious lest poverty should come upon him.

君子忧道不忧贫。
