《礼记·表记》
孔子说： 在下位的事奉在上位的，虽然有了庇护民众的大德，也不敢有统治民众的念头，这是仁厚的表现。
子曰： 下之事上也，虽有庇民之大德，不敢有君民之心，仁之厚也。
Confucius said: Serving the superior in a subordinate position, although one has the great virtue of protecting the people, one does not dare to have the idea of ruling the people, which is a manifestation of benevolence.
