37 尽心上:
孟子曰:“食而弗爱,豕交之也;爱而不敬,兽畜之也。恭敬者,币之未将者也。恭敬而无实,君子不可虚拘。”
Jin Xin I:
Mencius said, 'To feed a scholar and not love him, is to treat him as a pig. To love him and not respect him, is to keep him as a domestic animal. Honouring and respecting are what exist before any offering of gifts. If there be honouring and respecting without the reality of them, a superior man may not be retained by such empty demonstrations.'
