     From: Han Feizi, circa 2^nd century BCE

     Fú zhūyù, rénzhǔ zhī suǒjí yě. Hé suī xiàn pú ér wèi měi, wèi wéi zhǔ zhī hài yě; rán yóu liǎngzú zhǎn ér bǎo nǎi lùn, lùn bǎo ruò cǐ qí nán yě. [Pinyin]

     Indeed, pearls and gems are what the lord of men wants badly. Though Ho presented the uncut jade to the Throne, before it was made beautiful, he was never a harm to His Majesty. Nevertheless, it was only after both his feet had been cut off that the treasure was acknowledged. That to establish an opinion of a treasure should be so difficult!
