A ruler makes use of the majority and neglects the minority, and so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law. Han Fei Read Quote
The intelligent ruler does not value people who are of themselves good without rewards and punishments. Why is that? The laws of the state cannot be neglected, and it is not one man who is being ruled. Han Fei Read Quote
The object of rewards is to encourage; that of punishments, to prevent. If rewards are high, then what the ruler wants will be quickly effected; if punishments are heavy, what he does not want will be swiftly prevented. Han Fei Read Quote
