势利纷华，不近者为洁，近之而不染者尤洁；智械机巧，不知者为高，知之而不用者尤高。
A person who shuns power, wealth and luxury is clean. But a man who comes into contact with power, wealth and luxury and still remains unsullied is even cleaner. He who is unacquainted with wiles and intrigues is noble. But a person who is acquainted with wiles and intrigues but scorns to use them is even nobler.
