《淮南子·道应训》
所以，他们尽管没有任何领地但却成为众人敬仰的精神领袖，他们尽管没有任何官职但却能成为人们的主宰。天下男男女女无不伸长脖子踮着脚跟仰望他们、并希望他们平安幸福。
孔丘、墨翟，无地而为君、无官而为长，天下丈夫女子莫不延颈举踵而愿安利之之者。
Thus, even though they did not have any territory, they became spiritual leaders admired by everyone; even though they did not hold any official position, they were still capable of becoming masters of the people. Men and women all over the country would stretch out their necks and stand on their tippy toes to look up to them, and wished them good health and happiness.
