说苑/君子不羞學，不羞問。

君子不羞學，不羞問。

Eric Henry

A man of quality is not ashamed to study and not ashamed to make inquiries.

問訊者，知之本；念慮者，知之道也。

Eric Henry

Inquiry is the basis of knowledge, and reflection is the path of knowledge.

此言貴因人知而加知之，不貴獨自用其知而知之。

Eric Henry

In other words, one should prize reliance on others’ knowledge as a means of adding to one’s own knowledge; one should not prize dependence on one’s own knowledge alone as a means of gaining more knowledge.
