《管子·法法》
国家从来没有因为小和不幸而削弱危亡的，一定是因为君主和大臣自身失德，国内的官职、法制、政教有失误，国外对诸侯国的谋虑有失误，因而地削而且国危。
国无以小与不幸而削亡者，必主与大臣之德行失于身也，官职、法制、政教失于国也，诸侯之谋虑失于外也，故地削而国危矣。
Countries have never weakened and ended because of being small and unfortunate; it must be because the monarch and the ministers lost morality, there were errors in domestic official positions, laws, politics, and religions, and there were errors in strategies against vassal states in foreign countries, so the territory was taken and the country was in danger.
