《管子·七法》
对于友好的国家，要给予特殊扶持；对于敌对国家，要给予特殊惩罚。这样就发令能行，言禁能止。因此，英明的君主很重视这种作法。
所爱之国，而独利之；所恶之国，而独害之；则令行禁止，是以圣王贵之。
For friendly countries, special support should be given; for hostile countries, special punishment should be given. In this way, orders can be carried out, and prohibitions can be stopped. Therefore, wise monarchs attach great importance to this practice.
