《南史·列传·卷四十八》
他不曾称士大夫为卿，有人问他是什么缘故，陆慧晓说： 贵人不可以称卿，而贱者才可以称卿，人一生中怎么能在心里老是想着轻重呢！ 
未尝卿士大夫，或问其故，慧晓曰： 贵人不可卿，而贱者乃可卿，人生何容立轻重于怀抱。 
He never called officers “qing”. When somebody asked him why, Lu Huixiao replied, “The honorable ones cannot be called ‘qing’, while the lowly ones can. How can people live their entire lives always thinking about who is important and who is not!”
