| 《·》: | 子墨子言見染絲者而歎曰：「染於蒼則蒼，染於黃則黃。」 | | Watching a dyer of silk at work, Mozi sighed, saying: What is dyed in blue becomes blue, what is dyed in yellow becomes yellow. | | 《·》: | 食不語，寢不言。 | | When eating, he did not converse. When in bed, he did not speak. | | 《·》: | 王笑而不言。 | | The king laughed and did not speak. | | 《·》: | 生而神靈，弱而能言，幼而徇齊，長而敦敏，成而聰明。 | | Born a genius he could speak when a baby, as a boy he was quick and smart, as a youth simple and earnest, and when grown up intelligent. | | 《·》: | 臣聞不知而言不智，知而不言不忠，為人臣不忠當死，言而不當亦當死。 | | 《·》: | 生而神靈，弱而能言，幼而慧齊，長而敦敏，成而聰明。 |
