The Master said, Be of unwavering good faith, love learning, if
attacked be ready to die for the good Way. Do not enter a State that
pursues dangerous courses nor stay in one where the people have
rebelled. When the Way prevails under Heaven, then show yourself; when
it does not prevail, then hide. When the Way prevails in your own
land, count it a disgrace to be needy and obscure; when the Way does
not prevail in your land, then count it a disgrace to be rich and
honored.
Confucius,
Analects VIII.13, tr. Waley
