Chou Tun-Yi (1017-1073), Penetrating Book of Changes, Chapter 7 Teachers:
“Through teachers good can be cultivated in the world. Righteousness, uprightness, decisiveness, and firmness of action are examples of strength that is good. Fierceness, narrow-mindedness, and violence are examples of strength that is evil. Kindness, mildness, and humility are examples of weakness that is good. Feebleness, indecision, and perverseness are examples of weakness that is evil. Only the Mean brings harmony. The Mean is the principle of order, the universally recognized law of morality, and is that to which the sage is devoted. Therefore the sage institutes education so as to enable people to rid themselves of evil and arrive at the Mean. The enlightened ones should instruct those who are slower in learning, and the ignorant should seek help from those who understand. Thus the way of teachers is established, and many good people will follow. Then the government will be correct and the empire will be in order.”
