Mencius said,
'There is no difference between our pronouncing a white horse to be white and our pronouncing a white man to be white.
But is there no difference between the regard with which we acknowledge the age of an old horse and that with which we acknowledge the age of an old man?
?」And what is it which is called righteousness? The fact of a man's being old? Or the fact of our giving honour to his age?'
