Confucianism -> Liji -> Biao Ji -> 11

The Master said,
'When kindness is returned for kindness,
the people are stimulated (to be kind).
When injury is returned for injury,
the people are warned (to refrain from wrong-doing).
It is said in the Book of Poetry (III, iii, ode 26)
- "Answers to every word will leap,
。』 Good deeds their recompense shall reap."
It is said in the Tai Jia (Shu, V, v, sect. 2, 2),
"Without the sovereign, the people cannot enjoy repose with one another;
。』」without the people, the sovereign would have none to rule over in the four quarters (of the kingdom)."'
