孟子曰：“人不足与適［1］也，政不足间［2］
也。惟大人为能格［3］君心之非。君仁莫不仁，
君义莫不义，君正莫不正。一正君而国定矣。”
Mencius said, “It is not enough to remonstrate
with a sovereign on account of the mal-employment
of ministers, nor to blame errors of government. It is
only the great man who can rectify what is wrong in
the sovereign’s mind. Let the prince be benevolent,
and all his acts will be benevolent. Let the prince be
righteous, and all his acts will be righteous. Let the
prince be correct, and everything will be correct.
Once rectify the ruler, and the kingdom will be
firmly settled.”
