《管子·势》
大规模的文治实行三年，天下就能重视义与德；大规模的武事实行三年，天下才能平息刀兵与暴力。
大文三曾，而贵义与德；大武三曾，而偃武与力。
A large-scale civil administration is continued for three years, and all under heaven will respect good conduct and virtue; a large-scale military action is continued for three years, and all under heaven will be able to stop the conflicts and violence.
