管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第39篇水地 · Human nature · Leadership · Health · Action
是故具者何也?水是也。萬物莫不以生,唯知其託者能爲之正。具者,水是也。故曰:水者何也?萬物之本原也,諸生之宗室也,美惡賢不肖愚俊之所產也。何以知其然也?夫齊之水道躁而復,故其民貪麤而好勇。楚之水淖弱而清,故其民輕果而賊。越之水濁重而洎,故其民愚疾而垢。秦之水泔冣而稽,𡌧滯而雜,故其民貪戾,罔而好事齊。晉之水枯旱而運,𡌧滯而雜,故其民諂諛而葆詐,巧佞而好利。燕之水萃下而弱,沉滯而雜,故其民愚戇而好貞,輕疾而易死。宋之水輕勁而清,故其民閒易而好正。是以聖人之化世也,其解在水。故水一則人心正,水清則民心易。一則欲不污,民心易則行無邪。是以聖人之治於世也,不人告也,不戶說也,其樞在水。
