Youthful Folly has success.
It is not I who seek the young fools;
The young fools seek me.
At the first oracle I inform them.
If they ask two or three times, it is importunity.
If they importune, I give them no information.
Perseverance furthers.

A spring wells up at the foot of the mountain:
The image of Youth.
Thus the superior one fosters one's character
By thoroughness in all that one does.
