儒家 -> 孟子 -> 萬章下 -> 14.1

孟子曰：Mencius said,
「仕非為貧也， 'Office is not sought on account of poverty,
而有時乎為貧； yet there are times when one seeks office on that account.
娶妻非為養也， Marriage is not entered into for the sake of being attended to by the wife,
而有時乎為養。 yet there are times when one marries on that account.
為貧者，辭尊居卑， He who takes office on account of his poverty must decline an honourable situation and occupy a low one;
辭富居貧。 he must decline riches and prefer to be poor.
辭尊居卑，辭富居貧，惡乎宜乎？What office will be in harmony with this declining an honourable situation and occupying a low one, this declining riches and preferring to be poor?
抱關擊柝。Such an one as that of guarding the gates, or beating the watchman's stick.
孔子嘗為委吏矣， Confucius was once keeper of stores,
曰 and he then said,
『會計當而已矣』。"My calculations must be all right. That is all I have to care about."
嘗為乘田矣， He was once in charge of the public fields,
曰 and he then said,
『牛羊茁壯， "The oxen and sheep must be fat and strong,
長而已矣』。and superior. That is all I have to care about."
位卑而言高，罪也；When one is in a low situation, to speak of high matters is a crime.
立乎人之本朝， When a scholar stands in a prince's court,
而道不行， and his principles are not carried into practice,
恥也」 it is a shame to him.'
