《礼记·缁衣》
所以，对大臣不可不敬，因为大臣是百姓的楷模；对近臣不可不慎加选择，因为近臣是百姓的导向。
故大臣不可不敬也，是民之表也；迩臣不可不慎也，是民之道也。
Therefore, one should not be disrespectful to ministers, because ministers are role models for the common people; one should not fail to choose inner ministers carefully, because inner ministers are the guides for the common people.
