By / / joy, knowledge, learning, mastery, passion, The Analects, wisdom, Yong Ye VI, Yong Ye VI Chapter 20
Confucius said: Knowing is not as good as loving; loving is not as good as delighting.

They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.

知之者不如好之者，好之者不如乐之者。
