Fojian said to Xun Fodeng: "People of lofty character do not take fame and position as glory; people who understand the principle are not distressed by setbacks and suppression. Those who exert their strength only upon receiving favour, and show sincerity only upon seeing benefit, are all acting as those of mediocre capacity and below." (Rilu)
