大夫曰：「山嶽有饒，然後百姓贍焉。河、海有潤，然後民取足焉。夫尋常之汙，不能溉陂澤，丘阜之木，不能成宮室。小不能苞大，少不能贍多。未有不能自足而能足人者也。未有不能自治而能治人者也。故善為人者，能自為者也，善治人者，能自治者也。文學不能治內，安能理外乎？」

"Yes, I know that," he said, "but I know the men and Thomas will be the first to say that Sherman is the man for the work. There will be no trouble about that. The fact is the western end is pretty far down, and the next thing we must do is to push the eastern end down a little."
