《论衡·卷二十七·定贤篇》
所以大贤人很少有值得称道的节操，小贤人有许多可赞美的行为。能够用筭计算的东西是因为它的数目小，能够用升斗量的东西是因为它的数量少。
是故大贤寡可名之节，小贤多可称之行，可得箠者小，而可得量者少也。
Therefore, there are few ethical values worthy of praise for great sages, and there are many commendable behaviors for lesser sages. Things that can be counted by calculation are because they are few, and things that can be measured by measures are because they are not large.
