Zǐyuē: “Fàn shūshí yǐn shuǐ, qū gōng ér zhěn zhī, lè yì zài qízhōng yǐ. Bùyì ér fù qiě guì, yú wǒ rú fúyún.” [Pinyin]

The Master said, "With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow; I have still joy in the midst of these things. Riches and honors acquired by unrighteousness, are to me as a floating cloud."
