《墨子·09章 尚贤(中)》
所以先王的话说： 这种道，用到治天下这大处来说就不会缺损；用到小处来说，也不会困塞。长久用它，则万民受其利，终身不止。 
故先王之言曰： 此道也，大用之天下则不窕，小用之则不困，修用之则万民被其利，终身无已。 
Therefore it is said in the words of the Former Kings: 'This Way, when applied to the great affairs of government, is never insufficient; when applied to smaller matters, it is never obstructed. When it is practised for a long time, its benefits are received by the myriad people, and continue without end.'
