XXXIII. The commencement and the completion of a virtuous course.

Zhongyong XXXIII. 3.

It is said in the Book of Poetry, "Looked at in your apartment, be there free from shame as being exposed to the light of heaven." Therefore, the superior man, even when he is not moving, has a feeling of reverence, and while he speaks not, he has the feeling of truthfulness.

Legge XXXIII.3.

《诗经·商颂·烈祖》上又说:“默默祭祷,不议不争。”所以君子不用奖赏,而百姓自动劝勉;不用愤怒,百姓比腰斩之刑还害怕他。
