Mencius - Book 4, Part 1, Chapter 15
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.
'Listen to a man's words and look at the pupil of his eye. How can a man conceal his character?' ~ James Legge translation via nothingistic.org ~
