benlehman at 02:25pm on 03/04/2008Instead of some angry ranting, a quote:
"To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is that not a pleasure? That friends should come from afar, is this not delightful? To remain unsoured even though one's merits are unrecognized by others, is that not after all what is expected of an upright man?"
--Confucious, trans. Arthur Waley
(Waley's translation is so very very stilted, but you work with what you have.)
