《汉书·传·贾邹枚路传》
天下不曾没有过士人，可为什么衹说文王以多士安定天下呢？文王喜施仁德，所以能兴仁政；得到土人而能尊重士人，所以士人能为他效力，而他又能以礼义使用士人。
故不致其爱敬，则不能尽其心；不能尽其心，则不能尽其力；不能尽其力，则不能成其功。
There has never been a lack of scholars in the world, but why can it only be said that King Wen used scholars to stabilize the world? King Wen enjoyed benevolence and charity, so he was able to promote benevolence and government; he respected scholars after he got them, so scholars could serve him, and he could also use scholars with propriety and righteousness.
