14.19
貉稽［1］曰：“稽大不理［2］于口。”
孟子曰：“无伤也。士憎兹多口。《诗》
云：‘忧心悄悄，愠于群小［3］。’孔子也。‘肆
不殄厥愠，亦不陨厥问［4］。’文王也。”
Mo Qi said, “Greatly am I from anything to
depend upon from the mouths of men.”
Mencius observed, “There is no harm in that.
Scholars are more exposed than others to suffer from
the mouths of men. It is said, in the Book of Poetry,
‘My heart is disquieted and grieved, I am hated by
the crowd of mean creatures.’ This might have been
said by Confucius. And again, ‘Though he did not
remove their wrath, he did not let fall his own fame.’
This might be said of king Wen.”
