Chapter 12, Part 11 - Confucius
The Duke Ching, of Ch'i, asked Confucius about government.
Confucius replied, "There is government, when the prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father is father, and the son is son."
"Good!" said the duke; "if, indeed, the prince be not prince, the not minister, the father not father, and the son not son, although I have my revenue, can I enjoy it?" ~ James Legge translation via The Internet Classics Archive ~
