Confucianism -> Liji -> Ru Xing -> 13

儒有內稱不辟親，外舉不辟怨，程功積事，推賢而進達之，不望其報；君得其志，茍利國家，不求富貴。其舉賢援能有如此者。

'The scholar recommends members of his own family (to public employment), without shrinking from doing so, because of their kinship, and proposes others beyond it, without regard to their being at enmity with him; he estimates men's merits, and takes into consideration all their services, selecting those of virtue and ability, and putting them forward, without expecting any recompense from them; the ruler thus gets what he wishes, and if benefit results to the state, the scholar does not seek riches or honours for himself - such is he in promoting the employment of the worthy and bringing forward the able.
