孔子称：“有一言而可以终身行之者，其恕乎！” 明主宽容如此，而介甫拒谏乃尔，无乃不足于恕乎？ - From: 1070 April 10, 司馬光 (Sima Guang),《與王介甫書》, translation based on Chu Chiyu & D. E. Pollard's work
- Kǒngzǐ chēng: “Yǒu yīyán ér kěyǐ zhōngshēn xíng zhī zhě, qí shù hū!” míngzhǔ kuānróng rúcǐ, ér Jièfǔ jùjiàn nǎi'ěr, wúnǎi bùzú yú shù hū?
- When asked if there is a single word which can be a guide to conduct throughout one's life, Confucius said, “It is perhaps the word ‘magnanimity.’” The wise emperor shows himself generous and permissive, yet you reject remonstrance so adamantly. Is this not a failure of magnanimity?
