The motive force behind progress is the pursuit of wealth. But even if people are well off, if they lack viable moral standards, then unrest and criminal behavior may arise. So we must set up a stable, ethical, harmonious society in which wealth is evenly distributed.
進步的動力是求富，也就是所謂經濟成長，人民富足之後，如果沒有道德的準繩與素養，就會「放辟邪侈」，製造社會更大的罪惡與不安，所以我們必須要建立一個安定祥和而又富而好禮的均富社會。
