《资治通鉴·宋纪·宋纪三》
平时做事，能择善而从，自己就会获得好的声誉，切不可一意孤行，来炫耀自己的独断和英明。 名分一定要谨慎珍惜，不可以随便赏给他人；对亲近的人封赐爵位，则更应再三考虑定夺。
能择善者而从之，美自归己；不可专意自决，以矜独断之明也！名器深宜慎惜，不可妄以假人。昵近爵赐，尤应裁量。
When doing things at ordinary times, you can choose to follow the good and you will gain a good reputation. Don't be self-willed and show off your arbitrariness and brilliance. Reputation must be carefully cherished and should not be casually rewarded to others; ennobling your close relatives should be considered and decided over and over again.
