Zhongyong 
– The Doctrine of the Mean
Confucius' grandson comments about the Way and human nature. Tr. Legge (en)
Zhongyong XXXIII. 4.
It is said in the Book of Poetry, "In silence is the offering presented, and the spirit approached to; there is not the slightest contention." Therefore the superior man does not use rewards, and the people are stimulated to virtue. He does not show anger, and the people are awed more than by hatchets and battle-axes.
Legge XXXIII.4.
《诗经·周颂·烈文》上说：“道德的力量最显赫，各方诸侯奉为法则。”所以君子笃定自敬，天下自然太平
