《围炉夜话·第十六则》
能以道德感化他人的人，若身在高位而有威权，那么，要感化众人趋于正道就很快了。富足的钱财反而会牵累自己，如果拥有财富又身处乱世，那么这种牵累就尤为深重。
德足以感人，而以有德当大权，其感尤速；财足以累己，而以有财处乱世，其累尤深。
Those who can influence others with morality and who are in high positions of authority can quickly influence the people to do the right thing. Wealth, on the other hand, can easily become a burden, especially in times of chaos.
