《史记·七十列传·鲁仲连邹阳列传》
对上，辅佐国君统率群臣；对下，既养百姓又资游说之士，矫正国事，更换风俗，事业名声都可以建立。
上辅孤主以制群臣，下养百姓以资说士，矫国更俗，功名可立也。
Above, assist the monarch in leading his courtiers; below, both support the people and support the counselors to correct national affairs and change customs. Both career and reputation can be established.
