仲尼之仁賢。不能遏盜跖之暴（莊子。盜跖柳下惠之弟。無道兇虐橫行天下。大國守城小國入堡。孔子往教焉。及回謂柳下季曰。幾不免虎口之難）。

the benevolence and worthiness of Zhongni could not stop the violence of Robber Zhi; (*Zhuangzi*: Robber Zhi was the younger brother of Liuxia Hui; unprincipled, cruel, and tyrannical, he rampaged through the world. Large states guarded their walls and small states retreated to fortresses. Confucius went to instruct him, and upon returning said to Liuxia Ji: 'I almost failed to escape the danger of a tiger's mouth.')
