《孝经·孝治》
治理自己卿邑的卿大夫，即便对于臣仆婢妾也不失礼，更何况对其妻子、儿女了，所以会得到众人的欢心，便他们乐意奉事其父母亲。
治家者，不敢失于臣妾，而况于妻子乎？故得人之欢心，以事其亲。
The high officials who govern their fiefs do not show any disrespect to their servants or maids, not to mention their wives and children. As a result, they will win the people’s hearts, who will then gladly serve their parents.
