   • 吾われ入いれ見み先王せんおう之これ義よし則のり榮さかえ之これ，出で見み富貴ふうき之これ樂らく又また榮さかえ之これ；兩者りょうしゃ戰せん於胸中きょうちゅう，未知みち勝負しょうぶ，故こ臞。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
     吾われ入いれ见先王せんおう之これ义则荣之これ，出で见富とみ贵之これ乐又また荣之これ；两者战于胸中きょうちゅう，未知みち胜负，故こ臞。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: Han Feizi, circa 2^nd century BCE

     Wú rù jiàn xiānwáng zhī yì zé róng zhī, chū jiàn fùguì zhī lè yòu róng zhī; liǎngzhě zhàn yú xiōngzhōng, wèizhī shèngfù, gù qú. [Pinyin]

     Whenever I went in and saw the virtue of the early kings I rejoiced in it. Whenever I went out and saw the pleasure of the rich and noble I rejoiced in it, too. These two conflicting attractions waged a war within my breast. When victory and defeat still hung in the balance, I was thin.
