"兵士があなたに愛着を持つ前に罰せられる場合、彼らは従順にならず、従順でなければ、実質的に役に立たなくなります。兵士があなたに愛着を持った後に罰が執行されない場合、彼らはやはり従順にはなりません。"
— Sun Tzu
Simplified Meaning:
If you punish soldiers before they feel loyal to you, they won't obey properly and will be useless. If you don't punish them after they become loyal, they will become undisciplined.
