《左传·襄公·襄公二十六年》
伊戾回答说： 小人事奉君子，被讨厌不敢远离，被喜欢不敢亲近，恭敬地等待命令，岂敢有三心二意呢？
对曰： 小人之事君子也，恶之不敢远，好之不敢近。敬以待命，敢有贰心乎？
Yili replied, “When a small man serves a gentleman, even if he’s despised, he wouldn’t dare to stay away; if he’s liked, he wouldn’t dare to approach. He respectfully awaits orders; how could he dare to have ulterior motives?”
