管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第31篇君臣下 · Leadership · Decision · Character · Philosophy
古者未有君臣上下之別,未有夫婦妃匹之合,獸處羣居,以力相征。於是智者詐愚,强者凌弱,老幼孤獨不得其所。故智者假衆力以禁强虐,而暴人止。爲民興利除害,正民之德,而民師之。是故道術德行出於賢人,其從義理兆形於民心,則民反道矣。名物處違是非之分,則賞罰行矣。上下設,民生體,而國都立矣。是故國之所以爲國者,民體以爲國。君之所以爲君者,賞罰以爲君。致賞則匱,致罰則虐。財匱而令虐,所以失其民也。是故明君審居處之教,而民可使,居治戰勝守固者也。夫賞重則上不給也,罰虐則下不信也。是故明君飾食飲弔傷之禮,而物厲之者也。是故厲之以八政,旌之以衣服,富之以國裹,貴之以王禁,則民親君,可用也。民用,則天下可致也。
