Mencius: "If someone notices a child about to fall in a well, he will definitely feel alarmed and compassionate. This is not caused by the person's desire to be rewarded by the child's parents, nor is it caused by the desire to be applauded by the community, nor is it caused by the dread of guilty feelings. So therefore, it can be concluded that no person is naturally due to their human nature] without the feeling of compassion, no person is without the feeling of shame, no person is without the feeling of courtesy, and no person is without the feeling of having a conscience."
