Mencius - Book 7, Part 2, Chapter 20

Mencius said, 'Anciently, men of virtue and talents by means of their own enlightenment made others enlightened. Nowadays, it is tried, while they are themselves in darkness, and by means of that darkness, to make others enlightened.'
~ James Legge translation via nothingistic.org ~
