論賢主
On Wise Ruler
贤主愈大愈惧，愈强愈恐。故贤主于安思危，于达思穷，于得思丧。《周书》曰：“若临深渊，若履薄冰。”以言慎事也。
-《吕氏春秋》-慎大 【註1】
The wiser the ruler, the greater his sense of fear; the stronger he is, the more cautious he becomes. Therefore, a wise ruler contemplates danger in times of peace, considers limits in times of success, and reflects on loss in times of gain. As the 《Book of Zhou》 says: “It is like facing a deep abyss or walking on thin ice,” emphasizing the importance of carefulness in handling affairs.
- 《Lü Annals -Lüshi Chunqiu-Prudence on Being Big》
子曰：「苟正其身矣，於從政乎何有？不能正其身，如正人何？」
-《论语 卷九》【註2】
Confucius said: “If one can correct oneself, what difficulty is there in governing others? But if one cannot correct oneself, how can one possibly correct others?”
-《The Analects Vol. 9》
