From the Analects of Kǒng Fūzǐ, who is more widely known as Confucius:

Ames & Rosemont: The Master said, "Exemplary persons are distressed by their own lack of ability, not by the failure of others to acknowledge them."

Lyall (Proj. Gutenberg): The Master said, His shortcomings trouble a gentleman; to be unknown does not trouble him.

Legge: The Master said, "The superior man is distressed by his want of ability. He is not distressed by men's not knowing him."

So the next time you're thinking you don't get enough comments...
