《孟子》《万章章句下》

孟子曰："不挟长，不挟贵，不挟兄弟而友。友也者，友其德也，不可以有挟也。。。用下敬上，谓之贵贵；用上敬下，谓之尊贤。贵贵尊贤，其义一也。"

孟子答道："不倚仗自己年纪大，不倚仗自己地位高，不倚仗自己兄弟的富贵。交朋友，因为朋友的品德而去交他，因此心目中不能存在任何有所倚仗的观念。。。以职位卑下的人尊敬高贵的人，叫做尊重贵人；以高贵的人尊敬职位卑下的人，叫做尊敬贤者。尊重贵人和尊敬贤者，道理是相同的。

Mencius, "Not because of I am older, Not because of my status is higher, Not because of my brothers are rich. Making friend, is because of his moral. Therefore, we cannot have any discrimination in our heart... Lower position respect higher position, higher position respect lower position, the principle is the same."

杰狐说。
我们往往过分注重表象和财富，认为结交这样的朋友是好的。可有想过一个品德不好的人，到底是会帮你还是害你？
职位或财富高低应该是其次的，尊敬一个人是因为这个人的品德。

Jeff say.
We are over focus for surface and wealth, always believe making such friends is good. Have ever thought that an immoral person will help us or hurt us? Position lower or higher is always not the top priority, we respect one because of his moral.
