《新五代史·列传·唐六臣传第二十三》
好人日益疏远，而小人日益进用，那么作为君主，怅然若失和谁商议治理国家的大计呢？
善人日远，而小人日进，则为人主者，伥伥然谁与之图治安之计哉？
Good people are becoming increasingly distant, while villains are becoming increasingly active, so as a monarch, who can you discuss the great plans for governing the country with when you are feeling lost and disoriented?
