《墨子·35章 非命(上)》
古时前代的暴君，不能忍住耳目的贪婪，心里的邪僻，不听从他的双亲，以至于国家灭亡，社稷绝灭。不知道要说： 我疲惫无力，管理不善。 一定要说： 我命里本来要亡国。 
昔上世暴王，不忍其耳目之淫，心涂之辟，不顺其亲戚，遂以亡失国家，倾覆社稷；不知曰我罢不肖，为政不善，必曰吾命固失之。
The tyrants of ancient times, unable to restrain the greed in their ears that desire delicious food and entertainment, and the evil in their hearts, did not listen to their parents and thus, the country fell and the altars were destroyed. Not knowing what to say: I am tired and weak; governing is not enough. Must say: I am destined to lose my country.
