Modern Chinese Guide

周公对儿子鲁公说：君子不怠慢自己的亲族，不让大臣抱怨没被任用，老臣旧友没有大的过失，就不要抛弃他们，不要对一个人求全责备。

James Legge Translation

The duke of Chau addressed his son, the duke of Lu, saying, "The virtuous prince does not neglect his relations. He does not cause the great ministers to repine at his not employing them. Without some great cause, he does not dismiss from their offices the members of old families. He does not seek in one man talents for every employment."
