《韩非子·诡使》
设立爵位等级，本是用来作为区别贵贱基本标准的，但是对君主傲慢而不愿求见的人，世俗却称赞他们贤明。
设爵位，所以为贱贵基也；而简上不求见者，谓之 贤 。
Levels of爵位 are originally used as the basic standards for distinguishing between the noble and the humble, but those who are arrogant towards the monarch and refuse to seek an audience are praised by the world as being wise.
