10 卷四:
禮者、治辯之極也,強國之本也,威行之道也,功名之統也,王公由之,所以一天下也,不由之,所以隕社稷也。是故堅甲利兵,不足以為武;高城深池,不足以為固;嚴令繁刑,不足以為威;由其道則行,不由其道則廢。昔楚人蛟革犀兕以為甲,堅如金石,宛如鉅蛇,慘若蜂蠆,輕利剛疾,卒如飄風,然兵殆於垂沙,唐子死,莊蹻走,楚分為三四者,此豈無堅甲利兵也哉!所以統之非其道故也。汝淮以為險,江漢以為池,緣之以方城,限之以鄧林,然秦師至於鄢郢舉,若振槁然,是豈無固塞限險也哉!其所以統之者、非其道故也。紂殺比干,而囚箕子,為炮烙之刑,殺戮無時,群下愁怨,皆莫冀其命,然周師至,令不行乎左右,而豈其無嚴令繁刑也哉!其所以統之者、非其道故也。若夫明道而均分之,誠愛而時使之,則下之應上,如影響矣;有不由命,然後俟之以刑,刑一人而天下服,下不非其上,知罪在己也。是以刑罰競消,而威行如流者、無他,由是道故也。《》曰:「自東自西,自南自北,無思不服。」使?仁刑義立,教誠愛深,禮樂交通故也。《》曰:「禮儀卒度,笑語卒獲。
