The Master said, “Was Zang Wenzhong not a usurper of office? He knew of Liu Xiahui’s virtue, yet did not help him gain a position.”
The Master said, “If you can speak with someone but do not, you lose a person; if you cannot speak with someone yet do, you waste your words. The wise person neither loses people nor wastes words.”
Mencius said: “When it comes to understanding a person, nothing is more revealing than their eyes.The eyes cannot conceal a person’s evil.”
