管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第12篇樞言 · Leadership · Philosophy · Human nature · Action

衆人之用其心也,愛者憎之始也,德者怨之本也。其事親也,妻子具則孝衰矣。其事君也,有好業、家室富足則行衰矣。爵祿滿則忠衰矣。唯賢者不然,故先王不滿也。人主操逆,人臣操順。先王重榮辱,榮辱在爲。天下無私愛也,無私憎也,爲善者有福,爲不善者有禍。禍福在爲,故先王重爲。明賞不費,明刑不暴,賞罰明則德之至者也,故先王貴明。天道大而帝王者用愛惡,愛惡天下可祕,愛惡重閉必固。釜鼓滿則人概之,人滿則天概之,故先王不滿也。先王之書,心之敬執也,而衆人不知也。故有事事也,毋事亦事也。吾畏事,不欲爲事;吾畏言,不欲爲言,故行年六十而老吃也。
