《管子·小问》
桓公说： 我听说过，惩罚暴国，禁止恶行，赦免无罪的人，一定要有战胜敌人的武器，攻取敌人的策略，而后才能做到惩暴禁恶，而赦免无罪。
公曰： 吾闻之也，夫诛暴禁非，而赦无罪者，必有战胜之器、攻取之数，而后能诛暴禁非，而赦无罪。 
Duke Huan said: I have heard that to punish violent states, prohibit evil deeds, and pardon the innocent, one must have victorious weapons, and strategies for conquering enemies, and only then can he punish violence, prohibit evil, and pardon the innocent.
