Those who recognize a small crime as such, but do not recognize the wickedness of the greatest crime of all cannot distinguish right and wrong. — Mozi (470 BC - 391 BC):

To kill one man is to be guilty of a capital crime, to kill ten men is to increase the guilt tenfold, to kill a hundred men is to increase it one hundredfold.

This the rulers of the earth all recognize, and yet when it comes to the greatest crime – waging war on another state – they praise it!

If a man on seeing a little black were to say it is black, but on seeing a lot of black were to say it is white, it would be clear that such a man could not distinguish black and white.

So those who recognize a small crime as such, but do not recognize the wickedness of the greatest crime of all cannot distinguish right and wrong.
