My words are very easy to know, and very easy to practise; but there is no one in the world who is able to know and able to practise them. They who know me are few, and I am on that account (the more) to be prized. It is thus that the sage wears (a poor garb of) hair cloth, while he carries his (signet of) jade in his bosom.
