Back Forward
Mohism -> Mozi -> Book 1 -> Befriending the Learned -> 1

If one does not preserve the learned in a state
he will be injuring the state;
if one is not zealous (to recommend) the virtuous upon seeing one,
he will be neglecting the ruler.
Enthusiasm is to be shown only to the virtuous,
and plans for the country are only to be shared with the learned.
Few are those, who, neglecting the virtuous and slighting the learned, could still maintain the existence of their countries.
