精彩书摘
人国而不存其士，则亡国矣。见贤而不急，则缓其君矣。非贤无急，非士无与虑国。缓贤忘士，而能以其国存者，未曾有也。
昔者，文公出走而正天下，桓公去国而霸诸侯，越王勾践遇吴王之丑，而尚摄中国之贤君。三子之能达名成功于天下也，皆于其国抑而大丑也。太上无败，其次败而有以成，此之谓用民。
吾闻之曰：“非无安居也，我无安心也；非无足财也，我无足心也。”是故君子自难而易彼，众人自易而难彼。君子进不败其志，内究其情。虽杂庸民，终无怨心，彼有自信者也。是故为其所难者，必得其所欲焉；未闻为其所欲，而免其所恶者也.
是故倡臣伤君，谄下伤上。君必有弗弗之臣，上必有詻詻之下。分议者延延，而支苟者詻詻，焉可以长生保国。臣下重其爵位而不言，近臣则喑，远臣则鸣唫，怨结于民心。谄谀在侧，善议障塞，则国危矣。桀纣不以其无天下之士邪，杀其身而丧天下。故曰：归国宝，不若献贤而进士。
今有五锥，此其钴，钴者必先挫；有五刀，此其错，错者必先靡。是以甘井近竭，招木近伐，灵龟近灼，神蛇近暴。是故比干之殪，其抗也；孟贲之杀，其勇也；西施之沉，其美也；吴起之裂，其事也。故彼人者，寡不死其所长。故曰：太盛难守也。
故虽有贤君，不爱无功之臣；虽有慈父，不爱无益之子。是故不胜其任，而处其位，非此位之人也；不胜其爵，而处其禄，非此禄之主也。

前言/序言
Motzu is a sage of China and a great personality of the world. His religious thoughts, such as on the Will of Heav- en and Universal Love, may be as highly respected as those of Jesus Christ; his political theories, such as on Identifica- tion with the Superiors and Identifition with the Elites, may be compared to those of Karl Marx; and his scientific princi- ples, such as on Physics and Optics, may be considered as advanced as those of Albert Einstein. Thus, Professor Li- ang Chichao, one of the most prestigious contemporary Chi- nese scholars, once said that Motzu is little Christ but a great Marx.
When I was a young boy, I was very much influenced by Confucianism and I had terrible impression about Motzu. For Mencius, the great disciple of Confucius used to criticize Motzu by saying that Motzu, like Yangchu who despised the rulers and parents, was actually as rude like an animal.
It was 1949, when I moved to Hong Kong. There I met two distinguished scholars: Professor Su Shueling, an ex- pert on Chinese literature and Western mythology, and Fr. Gabriel Allegra, a Biblical scholar who translated the entire Bible into modern Chinese. Due to their inspiration and en- couragement, I began to study the complete works of Mot- zu. Twenty years of hard work later, I had completed both my master thesis and doctoral dissertation on different as- pects of Moism.
Historically speaking, Motzu passed away more than 20 centuries ago. During this period, his works have been al- most unknown in the West, and even in China, only a few scholars paid attention to him and his works.
