《战国策·魏四·秦攻韩之管》
昭忌代表魏王去拜见秦王说： 我听说贤明的君王听政的时候，是不会用一己偏见来治理国家，希望大王不要进攻魏国，听一听我的意见吧。 
昭忌乃为之见秦王曰： 臣闻明主之听也，不以挟私为政，是参行也。愿大王无攻魏，听臣也。 
On behalf of King Wei, Zhaoyi went to meet King Qin and said: I heard that when a wise monarch is in power, he will not govern the country with his own prejudices, hoping that your Majesty will not attack Wei and listen to my opinions.
