《公孙龙子·迹府》
赏罚是非，四个方面互相矛盾。这种与治国之道背道而驰的情况，即使有十倍于黄帝本事的人，也不可能治理好国家。 
赏罚是非，相与四谬，虽十黄帝，不能理也。 
Rewards and punishments, right and wrong, are contradictory in four ways. A situation like this that runs counter to the way of governing a country cannot be managed well, even by someone who is ten times as capable as the Yellow Emperor.
