《淮南子·诠言训》
所以，当天下未必不乱时而去人为治理，必定是危险的；当品行还招非议时而急于去追求名声，一定是要受到挫折的。
故治未固于不乱，而事为治者，必危；行未固于无非，而急求名者，必剉也。
Therefore, it must be dangerous to try to govern when the world is not necessarily in chaos; when one's conduct is still subject to criticism, it is bound to suffer setbacks if one is eager to seek fame.
