《智囊(选录)·上智部·邵雍》
邵雍正隐居山林，一些做官的门生旧友，都想自举罪状辞官回乡，写信问邵雍的看法。邵雍回答他们说： 现在正是你们应当尽力的时候。新法固然严苛，但能宽松一分，百姓就能得一分好处，辞职不干于国于民又有什么好处呢？ 冯述评李燔常常说： 不必非得等到做官了才能建功立业，只要处处尽力，于人有益，就是功业。 
投劾而去何益？ 李燔常言： 人不必待仕宦有职事才为功业，但随力到处，有以及物，即功业也。 
Shao Yong was living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Some of his former students and old friends who were officials all wanted to resign from their posts and return home after confessing their crimes. They wrote to Shao Yong to ask for his opinion. Shao Yong replied to them: This is exactly the time when you should do your best. Although the new law is strict, if you can relax it by one point, the people will benefit by one point. What good will it do to the country and the people if you resign? Feng Su commented that Li Bo often said: You don't have to wait until you become an official to make a career. As long as you do your best everywhere and benefit others, it is a career.
