Chapter 8, Part 6 - Confucius

The philosopher Tsang said, "Suppose that there is an individual who can be entrusted with the charge of a young orphan prince, and can be commissioned with authority over a state of a hundred li, and whom no emergency however great can drive from his principles: is such a man a superior man? He is a superior man indeed."
~ James Legge translation via The Internet Classics Archive ~
