Mencius said, 'If men of virtue and ability be not confided in, a State will become empty and void.
'Without the rules of propriety and distinctions of right, the high and the low will be thrown into confusion.
'Without the great principles of government and their various business, there will not be wealth sufficient for the expenditure.'~ James Legge translation via nothingistic.org ~
