《吕氏春秋·纪·仲春纪》
如果人民不趋附谁。那么，成就王业的人就不会出现，暴君就庆幸了，人民就绝望了。所以，在今天的世上如果有仁义之人在，不可不勉力从事这件事，如果有贤明的君主在，不可不致力于这件事。
贤不肖不可以不相分，若命之不可易，若美恶之不可移。
If the people do not submit to anyone, then those who accomplish great achievements will not appear, the tyrants will be happy, and the people will be in despair. Therefore, if there are people with benevolence and righteousness in the world today, they must work hard to do this, and if there are wise monarchs, they must work hard to do this.
