《后汉书·列传·卓鲁魏刘列传》
光武下诏书说 ：前密县令卓茂，约束修养自身，执节敦厚稳固，能做别人不能做到的事情。
乃下诏曰 前密令卓茂，束身自修，执节淳固，诚能为人所不能为。
Guangwu decreed, saying: The former Mi County Magistrate Zhuo Mao, is rigorous in his self-discipline, abiding by principles and obligations, and being strict and scrupulous； he is able to do what others cannot do.
