《荀子·君子》
这样，刑罚很简略，而君上的威力却像流水一样的通行，无处不在，人们都知道如果为非作歹，即使躲藏逃亡也不能够免受惩罚，所以没有不伏法认罪而请求惩处的。《尚书》说： 所有的罪罚都是自取的。 
是故刑罚綦省而威行如流，世晓然皆知夫为奸则虽隐窜逃亡之由不足以免也，故莫不服罪而请。书云： 凡人自得罪。 
In this way, the punishment is simple, but the power of the monarch flows like water everywhere, and everyone knows that even if they hide and escape, they cannot escape punishment, so they all plead guilty and beg for punishment. Shangshu says: All sins are self-inflicted.
