Yilin Verse
執義秉德,不危不殆。延頸盤桓,安其室檀。屯耗未得,終無大恤。
Holding fast to duty and virtue, neither endangered nor imperiled. Craning the neck, lingering at the threshold; resting secure in one dwelling. Though stalled and unfruitful, in the end there is no great distress.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
