《孟子·告子上》6A.17：人人有贵于己者
孟子指出，人都想被尊重，但真正的“贵”并不是他人加封，而是自己内部可被完成的仁义；若只追逐外荣，就会错过真正的尊贵。
孟子曰：「欲贵者，人之同心也。人人有贵于己者，弗思耳矣。人之所贵者，非良贵也。赵孟之所贵，赵孟能贱之。《诗》云：『既醉以酒，既饱以德。』言饱乎仁义也，所以不愿人之膏粱之味也。令闻广誉施于身，所以不愿人之文绣也。」
英文参考译文
Mencius said, 'To desire to be honoured is the common mind of men. And all men have in themselves that which is truly honourable. Only they do not think of it. The honour which men confer is not good honour. Those whom Zhao the Great ennobles he can make mean again. It is said in the Book of Poetry, "He has filled us with his wine, He has satiated us with his goodness." "Satiated us with his goodness," that is, satiated us with benevolence and righteousness, and he who is so satiated, consequently, does not wish for the fat meat and fine millet of men. A good reputation and far-reaching praise fall to him, and he does not desire the elegant embroidered garments of men.'

核心问题
为什么孟子说“人人有贵于己者，弗思耳矣”？
直接回答
因为人人都想显贵，却常忘了最值得尊贵的东西本就在自己内部：一个人是否真的被仁义充满，决定了他配不配得上外在荣誉，而不是反过来。
第一性原理
真正可持续的尊严，不来自外部加码，而来自内部有没有成形到值得被尊重的程度。
为什么重要
这章适合承接“人人有贵于己者”“Mencius on honor and dignity”“内在尊贵”这类搜索，也补强天爵/人爵主题的第二层说明。

不要把这章读成安慰式心灵鸡汤。孟子不是说‘你本来就很好’，而是说你内部有值得尊贵的根基，但必须真正把它活出来。
