6. 乱国之主，务于广地，而不务于仁义，务于高位，而不务于道德，是舍其所以存，而造其所以亡也。（卷三十五 文子）
【白话】会造成国家动乱的领导人，只注重扩大势力范围，而不重视仁义的教化；只追求高位权力，而不专注道德的修养。这种做法是舍弃国家所能生存的条件，而造成灭亡的因素。
Hence, a ruler who can ruin a country will be a leader zealous about expanding his territory but unconcerned with his duty to advance benevolence. He is concerned with pursuing a position of great authority but does not care too much about promoting virtues. By doing this, he has in fact given up all the conditions that can assure his country’s survival. Inevitably he will lead the country to a path of destruction. (Scroll 35: Wen Zi)
