——《孟子·尽心上》
格言大意：不是自己的东西而据为己有，这是不符合道义的。
Main Idea: It is not moral to take possession of things that don’t belong to yourself
取之以义(Getting thing based on moral principles)
春秋时期，鲁国规定，如果有人能把当时在其他国家做奴隶的人赎回来，官府就奖励他。子贡赎回一个人，却不愿去领奖金。孔子对此不以为然。子路救了一个落水的人，这个人送给他一头牛，子路痛快地接受了。孔子为此感到很高兴，因为这种取是符合道义的。
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a rule in Lu saying that if anyone could ransom people who became slaves in other countries the government would give an award to him. Zigong ransomed a person but he was unwilling to take the money. Confucius didn’t agree with his behavior.Zilu saved a person who fell into the water. He gave Zilu an ox .Zilu accepted it happily. Confucius felt happy with this, because it is moral to take possession of things like this.
