To Share Without Regret: The Ambition of Zi Lu

Zi Lu said: I wish to share my chariots, horses, and fine clothes with friends, and would not regret if they were worn out.

I should like, having chariots and horses, and light fur clothes, to share them with my friends, and though they should spoil them, I would not be displeased.

愿车马、衣轻裘,与朋友共。敝之而无憾。
