《庄子·外篇·天道》
凭借这个道理而处于尊上的地位，就算是帝王治世的盛德；凭借这个道理而处于庶民百姓的地位，就算是通晓了玄圣素王的看法和主张。
以此处上，帝王天子之德也；以此处下，玄圣素王之道也。
If one relies on this principle and holds a high position, he will possess the great virtues of ruling; If one relies on this principle and holds the position of a common citizen, he will possess the views and ideas of the profound saints and sages.
