Yang Zhu said, “Doing good deeds is not, in itself, done to gain a good reputation, yet a good reputation naturally follows; having gained a good reputation, one does not seek to gain benefits, yet benefits naturally come one’s way; having gained benefits, one does not compete with others for them, yet the calamities that arise from such competition often follow. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious and careful when doing good.”

#50 君子必慎为善
杨朱说，“做善事本来不是为了获取名声，但好名声却自然跟着来了；有了名声并不期盼获取利益，但利益却自然归于你；有了利益并不去和别人争夺，但争夺的祸患却往往随之而至。所以，君子对于行善必须谨慎小心。”
