《战国策·秦三·范睢至秦》
王不如采取联合远国而进攻较近国家的策略，得到一寸土地就是王的已寸土地，得到一尺地就是王的一尺地。
王不如远交而近攻，得寸则王之寸，得尺亦王之尺也。
It is better for the king to adopt the strategy of uniting with distant countries and attacking relatively close countries. If one inch of land is gained, it will be one inch of land of the king. If one foot of land is gained, it will be one foot of land of the king.
