《孔子家语·儒行解》
 儒者以忠信作为铠甲，以礼仪作为盾牌，心中想着仁去行动，怀抱着义来居处，即使遇到暴政，也不改变操守。
儒有忠信以为甲胄，礼义以为干橹；戴仁而行，抱义而处，虽有暴政，不更其所。
Scholars use loyalty and faith as armor, and etiquette as a shield. With benevolence in mind, they act with righteousness in their hearts. Even in the face of tyranny, they will not change their principles.
