《吕氏春秋·论·似顺论》
只要规定臣下的职分就够了。这样，受赏的人就无须感激谁，被处死的人也无须怨恨谁，人人都反躬自省就够了。
若是则受赏者无德，而抵诛者无怨矣，人自反而已。
It is enough to simply define the duties of ministers. In this way, those who are rewarded need not be grateful to anyone, and those who are punished need not be resentful of anyone. Everyone need only reflect upon themselves.
