《韩非子·六反》
尽心耕作，自食其力，本是创造财富的人，世俗却贬斥他们是没有才能的人。品德优异，单纯朴实，本是正派善良的人，世俗却贬斥他们是蠢笨呆板的人。
力作而食，生利之民也，而世少之曰 寡能之民 也，嘉厚纯粹，整谷之民也，而世少之曰 愚戆之民 也。
Diligent in farming and self-reliant, they are actually people who create wealth, but the world despises them as incompetent people. With excellent virtues, pure and sincere, they are actually upright and kind people, but the world despises them as stupid and dull people.
