《孟子·离娄章句下·第七节》
孟子说： 有道德的人能教育熏陶道德不高的人，有才智的人能教育熏陶才智低下的人；因此人们乐意自己家中有贤能的父兄。
孟子曰： 中也养不中，才也养不才，故人乐有贤父兄也。
Mencius said: The virtuous can educate and inspire the unvirtuous, and the wise can educate and inspire the unwise; therefore, people are happy to have virtuous fathers and brothers in their families.
