《后汉书·列传·袁绍刘表列传上》
袁绍外表宽厚文雅，很有器量，忧愁喜悦不表现在脸上，但他本性骄傲，刚愎自大，不能听取正确的意见，所以造成失败。
绍外宽雅有局度，忧喜不形于色，而性矜愎自高，短于从善，故至于败。
Yuan Shao had a gentle and refined appearance and a great deal of talent. Sadness and joy were not expressed on his face, but he was naturally arrogant and self-righteous and could not listen to correct advice, so he failed.
