Appreciation of Quotations on Friendship

"A gentleman is always in comparison, but a villain is always in comparison." 》Where does it come from, what does it mean, annotation and translation

Annotation Zhou: Affinity, gregarious. Than: Collusion.

The meaning of the sentence is that gentlemen get along with each other in friendship instead of colluding with each other, and villains collude with each other instead of getting along with each other in friendship.

"A gentleman does not compare himself with others; a villain does not compare himself with others."

》From: "The Analects of Confucius·Wei Zheng"
