曰：“为其多闻也，则天子不召师，而况诸侯乎？If because of his extensive information,' said Mencius, 'such a person is a teacher, and the sovereign would not call him - how much less may any of the princes do so?
为其贤也，则吾未闻欲见贤而召之也。If because of his talents and virtue, then I have not heard of any one wishing to see a person with those qualities, and calling him to his presence.
缪公亟见于子思，曰：‘古千乘之国以友士，何如？’During the frequent interviews of the duke Mu with Zi Si, he one day said to him, "Anciently, princes of a thousand chariots have yet been on terms of friendship with scholars - what do you think of such an intercourse?"
子思不悦，曰：‘古之人有言：曰事之云乎，岂曰友之云乎？’Zi Si was displeased, and said, "The ancients have said, 'The scholar should be served:' how should they have merely said that he should be made a friend of?"
子思之不悦也，岂不曰：‘以位，则子，君也；我，臣也。When Zi Si was thus displeased, did he not say within himself, "With regard to our stations, you are sovereign, and I am subject.
何敢与君友也？How can I presume to be on terms of friendship with my sovereign!
以德，则子事我者也。With regard to our virtue, you ought to make me your master.
奚可以与我友？How can you be on terms of friendship with me?
千乘之君求与之友，而不可得也，而况可召与？Thus, when a ruler of a thousand chariots sought to be on terms of friendship with a scholar, he could not obtain his wish - how much less could he call him to his presence!
齐景公田，招虞人以旌，The duke Ching of Qi, once, when he was hunting, called his forester to him by a flag.
不至， The forester would not come,
将杀之。 and the duke was going to kill him.
With reference to this incident, Confucius said,
志士不忘在沟壑， "The determined officer never forgets that his end may be in a ditch or a stream;
勇士不忘丧其元。 the brave officer never forgets that he may lose his head."
孔子奚取焉？What was it in the forester that Confucius thus approved?
取非其招不往也。He approved his not going to the duke, when summoned by the article which was not appropriate to him.
