《三国志·魏书·任城陈萧王传》
所以不躲避困难，是君主的恩惠；所有的人都能恩养，是您对臣民的恩惠；不责罚罪行而赏赐功劳，是圣明君主的行为；怜悯愚人爱惜人才，是慈父的恩德；所以我在您的恩惠中徘徊而不能死去。 
是以不别荆棘者，庆云之惠也；七子均养者，尸鸠之仁也；舍罪责功者，明君之举也；矜愚爱能者，慈父之恩也：是以愚臣徘徊於恩泽而不能自弃者也。
Therefore, not avoiding difficulties is the monarch's grace; providing for all the people is your grace to your subjects; not punishing crimes but rewarding meritorious deeds is the behavior of a wise and just monarch; pitying the foolish and cherishing the talented is the grace of a loving father; therefore, I am lingering in your grace and cannot die.
