“居庙堂之高则忧其民，处江湖之远则忧其君。是进亦忧，退亦忧。然则何时而乐耶？其必曰：‘先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐’乎。”

"In high station, one worries about the people; in obscurity, one worries about the ruler. Thus, one worries both in office and in retirement. When then is one happy? One must say: 'To worry before the world worries, and to rejoice only after the world rejoices.'"
