3.8

原憲雖貧不離華冕(原憲魯人。貧居破屋常戴其冠。子貢過之曰。病甚憲曰。吾聞無財為貧。道不行為病吾貧也。非病也)。

though Yuan Xian was poor, he did not abandon his magnificent cap. (Yuan Xian was a man of Lu. Poor and dwelling in a dilapidated hut, he constantly wore his cap. Zigong passed by him and said, 'Are you ill?' Xian said, 'I have heard that lacking wealth is called poverty, while inability to practice the Way is called illness. I am poor; I am not ill.')
