《管子·禁藏》
至于一般的君主，多半迷恋于物质享受，并为此费力操心，所以弄得困顿不堪而国用不足，大者可致亡国，小者也危害自身。
夫众人者，多营于物，而苦其力、劳其心，故困而不赡，大者以失其国，小者以危其身。
As for the ordinary monarchs, most of them are obsessed with material enjoyment and work hard for it, so they are in trouble and the national expenses are insufficient. The big ones can lead to the demise of the country, and the small ones can also harm themselves.
