Who said "Everyone has no faults, a wise man has few faults, and a saint has many faults"?

The wish sentence is: "There are too many saints, too few sages, and there are no faults among fools." It comes from "Reply to Yulin". Author: Ouyang De, courtesy name Chongyi, nickname Nanye, a native of Taihe, Jiangxi. It means: A saint has a very strong ability to perceive conscience. Whatever he sees with his eyes, hears with his ears, smells with his nose, eats with his mouth, says, does with his body, and thinks in his heart, as long as there is anything that is not in line with his conscience, he will Knowing that he was wrong, his conscience was condemned, so the saint always felt that he had made many mistakes. There are too few sages and no faults among fools. They all think that they have no fault because their conscience's perception is too weak. Therefore, even if there is something in their eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind that is not in line with their conscience, they will not feel it. This is the difference between saints and ordinary people.
