《管子·法法》
从来没有多求而多得，多禁而多止，多令而能多行的。所以说：上面过于苛刻，下面就不会听令；下面不听命而强加以刑罚，君主就会被众人谋算。
故未有能多求而多得者也，未有能多禁而多止者也，未有能多令而多行者也。故曰：上苛则下不听，下不听而强以刑罚，则为人上者众谋矣。
There has never been too much request and gain, too much prohibition and stop, and too many orders and more actions. So it is said: if the above is too harsh, the below will not obey orders; if the below does not obey orders and is punished, the monarch will be plotted by the crowd.
<s>[INST] For each of the following sets of Classical Chinese and Modern Chinese sentences, provide an English translation that captures the essence of both: Classical: 故未有能多求而多得者也，未有能多禁而多止者也，未有能多令而多行者也。故曰：上苛则下不听，下不听而强以刑罚，则为人上者众谋矣。 Modern: 从来没有多求而多得，多禁而多止，多令而能多行的。所以说：上面过于苛刻，下面就不会听令；下面不听命而强加以刑罚，君主就会被众人谋算。 [/INST] There has never been too much request and gain, too much prohibition and stop, and too many orders and more actions.
