《淮南子·说山训》
怕别人听到钟声，这是可以理解的；但捂着自己的耳朵以为钟声不存在，则是相当荒谬和愚蠢的。 升 之所以不比 石 大，是因为 升 包含在石之中；夜不能比年长，是因为夜包含在年之中；仁义的作用不比道与德大，是在于道与德是主宰包括仁义在内的一切事物。
憎人闻之可也，自掩其耳，悖矣。升之不能大于石也，升在石之中；夜之不能修其岁也，夜在岁之中；仁义之不能大于道德也，仁义在道德之包。
It is understandable to be afraid of others hearing the sound of the bell; but to cover one's own ears and think that the sound of the bell does not exist is quite absurd and stupid. The reason why sheng is not bigger than shi is because sheng is contained within shi; night cannot be longer than a year, because night is contained within a year; the function of benevolence and righteousness is not greater than that of Tao and de, because Tao and de are the masters that dominate everything, including benevolence and righteousness.
