Verse 5 of Analects of Confucius Chapter 16

English: Confucius said:"There are three types of indulgence that are good and there are three types of indulgence that are bad. Indulge in music and rites, indulge in talking the greatness of others, indulge in knowing befriending virtuous friends, these are good indulgences.Indulge in arrogance, indulge in idleness, indulge in feasting, these are bad indulgences."

Modern: 孔子说：“有三种喜好使人受益，有三种喜好使人受损。喜好用礼仪音乐节制自己，喜好成述别人的好处，喜好结交贤良，这些喜好都使人受益。喜好以骄傲为乐，喜好淫逸放荡，喜好饮宴为乐，这些喜好都使人受损。”

Original: 孔子曰：“益者三乐，损者三乐。乐节礼乐，乐道人之善，乐多贤友，益矣。乐骄乐，乐佚游，乐宴乐，损矣。”
