棘子成曰：“君子质而已矣，何以文为？”子贡曰：“惜乎，夫子之说君子也！驷不及舌。文犹质也，质犹文也。虎豹之鞟犹犬羊之鞟。”

Ji Zi Zhang said: "All the noble man needs is to have his substance. Why should he need external refinement?" Zi Gong said, "Amazing! You speak about the noble man, but a team of horses couldn't keep up with your tongue. Refinement is substance; substance is refinement! When the hair is taken off the hide of a tiger or leopard, it looks the same as the hide of a dog or sheep."

棘子成曰く、君子は質のみ、何ぞ文を以て為さん。子貢曰く、惜しいかな、夫子の説は君子なり。駟も舌に及ばず。文は猶質の如し。質は猶文の如し。虎豹のかくは猶犬羊のかくの如し。
