《吴子·图国》
您能将有才德的人加以重用，没有才德的人不予重用，那么阵就已稳定了。民众安居乐业，亲敬官吏，那末守备就已巩固了。
君能使贤者居上，不肖者处下，则陈已定矣；民安其田宅，亲其有司，则守已固矣。
If you can give heavy responsibilities to those with talent and virtue and not to those without talent and virtue, the military will be stable. If the people live in peace and contentment and respect the officials, the defense will be strong.
