《墨子·28章 天志(下)》
比如现在这里有一个人，他进入别人的果场菜园偷窃人家的桃子、李子、瓜菜和生姜，上面抓住了将会惩罚他，大众听到了就指责他。这是什么原因呢？
所谓小物则知之者，何若？今有人于此，入人之场园，取人之桃李瓜姜者，上得且罚之，众闻则非之，是何也？
For example, suppose there is a man here who enters another man’s orchard or garden and steals his peaches, plums, melons, and ginger. If he is caught, he will be punished, and if the people hear of it, they will denounce him. What is the reason for this?
