    所以谓人皆有不忍人之心者,今人乍见孺子将入于井,皆有怵惕恻隐之心。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
    From: Mencius, c. 4th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
    Suǒyǐ wèi rén jiēyǒu bùrěnrénzhīxīn zhě, jīn rén zhà jiàn rúzǐ jiāng rùyú jǐng, jiēyǒu chùtì cèyǐn zhīxīn. [Pinyin]
    When I say that all men have a mind which cannot bear to see the sufferings of others, my meaning may be illustrated thus: even now-a-days, if men suddenly see a child about to fall into a well, they will without exception experience a feeling of alarm and distress.
