说苑/善不可以偽來，惡不可以辭去。

善不可以偽來，惡不可以辭去。

Eric Henry

Goodness cannot be summoned with false pretenses, and wickedness cannot be driven away with words alone.

近市無賈，在田無野，善不逆旅。

Eric Henry

An area with a market has no peddlers; a field in a farm has no uncultivated patches; efficacy meets no obstruction. Without empathy, good deeds, and firmness in battle, no one can make the realm secure.

非仁義剛武，無以定天下。

Eric Henry

The first phrase means that, with a market nearby, people have no need for bagtoting salesmen, and, therefore, no such people are to be seen near markets.

Eric Henry

The relationship of the last phrase to the two that precede it is difficult to fathom.
