Confucius said, “There are three errors to which they who stand in the presence of a man of virtue and station are liable. They may speak when it does not come to them to speak;⁠—this is called rashness. They may not speak when it comes to them to speak;⁠—this is called concealment. They may speak without looking at the countenance of their superior;⁠—this is called blindness.”
