《论衡·卷二·命义篇》
如命该富贵，又碰上正当禄命旺盛，就会长久安适而没有危险。如命该贫贱，又遇上禄命衰微，那灾祸于是就会到来，经常感到痛苦而没有欢乐。
以命当富贵，遭当盛之禄，常安不危；以命当贫贱，遇当衰之禄，则祸殃乃至，常苦不乐。
If one's fate is to be rich and honorable, and it happens to be a prosperous fate, one will live a long and comfortable life without danger. If one's fate is to be poor and humble, and one encounters a decline in one's destiny, then disaster will strike, and one will often feel pain and no joy.
