《贞观政要·卷六·论慎言语》
而且多记事就会损伤心思，多说话就会损伤元气。在内损伤心思、元气，在外损伤形体、精神，即使起初察觉不到，将来一定会受连累。
且多记则损心，多语则损气，心气内损，形神外劳，初虽不觉，后必为累。
Furthermore, remembering too many things will harm the mind, and excessive talking will damage the vital energy. Harm to the mind and vital energy internally and to the physical body and spirit externally, even if not noticed at first, will undoubtedly cause future suffering.
