《韩非子·六反》
财用富足还努力劳作的，只有古代的神农；君主治国手段软弱而自己行为保持美好的，只有曾参、史。民众比不上神农、曾参、史绍是很清楚的。
财用足而力作者，神农也；上治懦而行修者，曾、史也，夫民之不及神农、曾、史亦明矣。
As for becoming rich in wealth and still working hard, there was only Shennong of antiquity; as for the ruler being weak and yet maintaining his own good conduct, there was only Zeng and Shi. It is perfectly clear that the people are not the equals of Shennong, Zeng, and Shi.
