法立而民樂之，令出而民銜之。法令之合於民心，如符節之相得也，則主尊顯。故曰：「銜令者，君之尊也。」

文學曰：「文王興而民好善，幽、厲興而民好暴，非性之殊，風俗使然也。故商、周之所以昌，桀、紂之所以亡也，湯、武非得伯夷之民以治，桀、紂非得跖、蹻之民以亂也，故治亂不在於民。孔子曰：『聽訟吾猶人也，必也使無訟乎！』無訟者難，訟而聽之易。夫不治其本而事其末，古之所謂愚，今之所謂智。以棰楚正亂，以刀筆正文，古之所謂賊，今之所謂賢也。」

曰：民知德矣，而未知義，然後明行以導之義。義有七體。七體者何？曰：孝悌慈惠以養親戚，恭敬忠信以事君上，中正比宜以行禮節，整齊撙詘以辟刑僇，纖嗇省用以備飢饉，敦懞純固以備禍亂，和協輯睦以備寇戎。凡此七者，義之體也。夫民必知義然後中正，中正然後和調，和調乃能處安，處安然後動威，動威乃可以戰勝而守固。故曰：義不可不行也。

"Ah, gentlemen," I said, "there is the point. A little more money and you could have had the indestructible wrought-iron and your bridge would stand against any steamboat. We never have built and we never will build a cheap bridge. Ours don't fall."
