《贞观政要·卷六·论奢纵》
只有这样，百姓才会爱戴君王如同爱戴自己的父母，仰慕君王如同仰慕日月，尊敬君王如同尊敬神明，畏惧君王如同畏惧雷霆。
故其下爱之如父母，仰之如日月，敬之如神明，畏之如雷霆。
Only in this way, people will love the monarch like they love their own parents, admire the monarch like they admire the sun and the moon, respect the monarch like they respect the gods, and fear the monarch like they fear the thunder.
