《淮南子·缪称训》
符合自己的心意但对国家无功劳的人，便不给予赏赐；违背自己的心意但对国家有贡献的人，便不加惩罚。
适于己而无功于国者，不施赏焉；逆于己便于国者，不加罚焉。
Someone who adheres to his own wishes and yet does no good to the country should not be rewarded even if the king was willing to; someone goes against his own will yet makes contribution to the country should not be punished even if the king was upset.
