《北齐书·列传·卷四十六》
《尚书》上说： 知人则明，任用人安定人则惠。 圣明的君主，一定能吸引用清明大臣，昏乱之朝，多贪婪残暴之官。
书云： 知人则哲，能官人安人则惠。 睿哲之君，必致清明之臣，昏乱之朝，多有贪残之吏。
"The Book of Documents" states: Only when you know people can you become enlightened, only when you employ people can you make them content. A wise monarch will definitely attract loyal and upright ministers, while a chaotic dynasty will have numerous greedy and brutal officials.
