《列子·仲尼》
孔子的脸色一时有些变化，然后说： 西方的人中有一位圣人，不治理国家而国家不乱，不说话而使人自然信服，不教化而政令自然实行，伟大而宽广啊，百姓不知怎么称赞他才好。
孔子动容有间，曰： 西方之人有圣者焉，不治而不乱，不言而自信，不化而自行，荡荡乎民无能名焉。
Confucius’ countenance changed, and he said, "In the west there lived a holy man, who did not go out of his door, and yet the people came to him from all quarters. He did not speak, and yet his influence spread to all quarters. He did not invite people, and yet they came without ceasing. He was dignified, but not haughty; he was majestic, but not fierce; he was courteous, but not flattering. All creatures loved him and rejoiced in him. Was not this a sage? And who was he? It was Fu-hsi."
