《资治通鉴·魏纪·魏纪三》
人之常情都是畏惧艰难，趋就容易，喜好相同意见，厌恶不同意见，这与治国之道正好相反。古书上说， 从善如同登山，从恶如同山崩 ，是比喻为善多么因难。君王承袭祖先累世的基业，据有至尊的自然之势，有掌握天下八种权柄的威严，喜好容易受到赞同带来的欢快，无需听取采纳别人意见，而忠义之臣提出难以采纳的方案，说出逆耳的言语，与君王不能契合，不也正当如此吗！
人君承奕世之基，据自然之势，操八柄之威，甘易同之欢，无假取于人，而忠臣挟难进之术，吐逆耳之言，其不合也，不亦宜乎！
It is human nature to fear hardship and seek the easy, to like the same opinions, and to hate different opinions, which is the opposite of the way to govern the country. As the ancient book says, "Following good is like climbing a mountain, following evil is like a mountain collapsing," which is a metaphor for how difficult it is to do good. The emperor inherited the foundation of his ancestors, had the natural momentum of the supreme, and had the majesty to hold the eight powers of the world. He liked to be happy with the easy-to-approve joy, without listening to the opinions of others, and the loyal and righteous ministers put forward difficult-to-adopt plans. , and said something that was unpleasant to hear, and it was not right for him to agree with the monarch, wasn't it true!
