Mencius said, 'Of all the parts of a man's body there is none more excellent than the pupil of the eye. The pupil cannot be used to hide a man's wickedness. If within the breast all be correct, the pupil is bright. If within the breast all be not correct, the pupil is dull.Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Works of Mencius.
'Listen to a man's words and look at the pupil of his eye. How can a man conceal his character?'
