《元史·列传·卷四十七》
磐曾在议事会上多次说过 ：前代用人，二十从政，七十告退，这是因为要用人之才而又怜悯其衰老，养其廉耻之心。
磐尝于会集议事之际，数言： 前代用人，二十从政，七十致仕，所以资其材力，闵其衰老，养其廉耻之心也。
Pan has said many times at the policy meeting: In the previous dynasties, people were recruited to work in the government at the age of 20 and retired at 70. This was because we needed the talents of people but pitied their old age, so we cultivated their sense of shame.
