Mark Kurlansky Quote
On the one side were Confucians, inspired by Mencius, who, when asked how a state should raise profits, replied, Why must Your Majesty use the word profit? All I am concerned with are the good and the right. If Your Majesty says, ‘How can I profit my state?’ your officials will say, ‘How can I profit my family?’ and officers and common people will say, ‘How can I profit myself?’ Once superiors and inferiors are competing for profit, the state will be in danger.
