《资治通鉴·周纪·周纪四》
由此而见，倡导礼义的人才能称王，治政精明的人可以使国家富强，招揽民心的人可以使国家安定，而搜刮者只能灭亡。
故修礼者王，为政者强，取民者安，聚敛者亡。
Thus it can be seen that those who advocate for rituals and righteousness can become kings, those who are shrewd in government can make the country prosperous, those who win the people's hearts can make the country stable, while those who plunder will only perish.
