Mencius said, 'When right principles prevail throughout the kingdom, one's principles must appear along with one's person. When right principles disappear from the kingdom, one's person must vanish along with one's principles.
'I have not heard of one's principles being dependent for their manifestation on other men.'~ James Legge translation via nothingistic.org ~
