Confucianism -> Mengzi -> Liang Hui Wang I -> 7.18

on which Mencius proceeded,
'Now here is kindness sufficient to reach to animals,
and no benefits are extended from it to the people.
How is this? Is an exception to be made here?
The truth is, the feather is not lifted ,
because strength is not used;
輿 the waggon-load of firewood is not seen,
because the eyesight is not used;
and the people are not loved and protected,
because kindness is not employed.
Therefore your Majesty's not exercising the royal sway,
is because you do not do it,
。」 not because you are not able to do it.'
