《管子·明法解》
权衡，是用来计算轻重数字的，然而人们不去事奉它，并非心里不爱财，而是因为 权 不能替他创造数量的多少， 衡 不能替他创造重量的轻重。
故明主在上位，则官不得枉法，吏不得为私。
A balance is used to calculate light and heavy volumes, but people do not worship it because the intention is not to not to love wealth, but because the balance cannot create quantities or weights for it.
