“I feel people will tend toward universal love and mutual aid like fire tending upward and water downwards — it will be unpreventable in the world.”

Mozi (-470–-391 BC) Chinese political philosopher and religious reformer of the Warring States period

Mozi
Context: Now, as to universal love and mutual aid, they are beneficial and easy beyond a doubt. It seems to me that the only trouble is that there is no superior who encourages it. If there is a superior who encourages it, promoting it with rewards and commendations, threatening its reverse with punishments, I feel people will tend toward universal love and mutual aid like fire tending upward and water downwards — it will be unpreventable in the world.
