《管子·小问》
治理人民，不知其疾苦则人民憎恨，不厚施德惠则人民多怨，用刑罚恐吓则人民多行欺诈，用强力禁制则是去者不肯再回，来者也裹足不前了。
夫牧民不知其疾则民疾，不忧以德则民多怨，惧之以罪则民多诈，止之以力则往者不反，来者鸷距。
In governing the people, if one does not know their hardship and suffering, they will resent; if one does not provide extensive benefits and favor, they will bear many grudges; if one uses punishment and threats, they will become more deceitful; if one uses force and prohibition, those who leave will not want to return, and those who are coming will hesitate to enter.
