《荀子·儒效》
没有老师的教导，不懂得法度，人就会任性而为；如果有老师教导，懂得法度，就会重视学习的积累；而老师的法度本身也是通过学习的积累得来的，不是先天具有的，它不能独立地治理自己。
人无师法，则隆性矣；有师法，则隆积矣。而师法者，所得乎情，非所受乎性，不足以独立而治。
Without the guidance of a teacher, if one does not understand the law, he will act arbitrarily; if he has the guidance of a teacher and understands the law, he will emphasize the accumulation of learning; while the law of a teacher is also obtained through the accumulation of learning, it is not innate, and it cannot govern oneself independently.
