《管子·君臣下》
主管刑杀的不敢私窃刑杀的权限，主管赏赐的不敢偷窃行赏的权限，人们服帖得象一个父亲的儿子，象一个家庭的情况一样，这是由于义礼分明的原故。
治斧钺者不敢让刑，治轩冕者不敢让赏，坟然若一父之子，若一家之实，义礼明也。
The officer who has charge of inflicting punishments does not dare to release them at his own discretion, the officer whose duty it is to confer rewards does not dare to give away the rewards at his own caprice, and the people are lovingly submissive, as are the sons of a family - this is due to the principles of righteousness being clearly laid down.
