《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪四十八》
将那些人推到必死之地，而想让这些人长久生存；将那些人丢到危殆之地，而想让这些人长久安宁，从古至今，没有过这样的事情。 
挤彼于死地而求此之久生也，措彼于危地而求此之久安也，从古及今，未之有焉。 
Putting them in a situation where they must die and wanting them to live long; leaving them in a dangerous situation and wanting them to remain at peace for long, there has never been such a thing since ancient times.
