The law is not noble and the rope is not bent. When the law is imposed, a wise man cannot refuse it, and a brave man cannot dare to fight for it. The law does not favor the powerful, and the principles of the law must not succumb to evil, just as the ink line used by a carpenter will never bend the wood. A person who should be punished by law, even if he is intelligent, cannot use words to explain or prevaricate, and even if he is extremely brave, he does not dare to use force to fight. Punishment should not be excessive and powerful ministers should not be avoided; while rewards for good deeds should not be omitted from ordinary people.
