陈牧：寡人闻儒者有浩然之气。敢问先生，何为儒者？
萧凡：臣以为，儒者，以忠信为甲胄，以礼义为干橹，戴仁而行，抱义而处，虽有暴政，不更其志，其自立有如此者，可为儒者。
陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人受教矣。

陈牧：三代之政，以何为先？先生教我。
萧凡：臣以为，三代之得天下也，以仁，其失天下也，以不仁，国家之所以废兴存亡者亦然，天子不仁，不保四海，诸侯不仁，不保社稷，卿大夫不仁，不保宗庙，士庶人不仁，不保四体，今恶死亡而乐不仁，犹恶醉而强酒也。

陈牧：寡人欲知，何为有道之君？先生教我。
萧凡：臣以为，有道之君，外无怨仇于邻敌，而内有德泽于人民。夫外无怨仇于邻敌者，其遇诸侯也外有礼义。内有德泽于人民者，其治人事也务本。遇诸侯有礼义，则役希起；治民事务本，则淫奢止，愿大王察之。
