世子孟子When the prince was returning from Chu, he again visited Mencius.
孟子 Mencius said to him,
世子'Prince, do you doubt my words?
The path is one, and only one.

"They were men.
I am a man.
?』 Why should I stand in awe of them?"
顏淵:『Yan Yuan said, "What kind of man was Shun?
What kind of man am I?
。』 He who exerts himself will also become such as he was."
公明儀 Gong Ming Yi said,
文王 "King Wen is my teacher.
周公?』 How should the duke of Zhou deceive me by those words?"

It is said in the Book of History,
"If medicine do not raise a commotion in the patient,
