《太平广记·卷八十二·异人二》
林甫说： 老臣偶然列入宰相之位，实在不是我的才器够当宰相的资格，我曾深恐不能胜此大任，担心福过头了灾祸就会跟随而来。
林甫曰： 仆偶各位于辅弼，实非才器，已恐不胜大任，福过祸随也。
Lin Fu said: The old minister was accidentally included in the position of prime minister. It was not really my talent and equipment that qualified me for the position of prime minister. I was deeply afraid that I could not win this important position and worried that the blessings would be followed by disasters.
