《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪四十五》
为什么会这样呢？有些顽劣的人士不懂审时度势，只知安于所见到过的事情，即使是事情已经成功，也不知快乐，何况在操心事情的开端时，就让他同意？
俗人拘文牵占，不达权制，奇伟所闻，简忽所见，乌可与论国家之大事哉！故言事者虽合圣德，辄见掎夺。
Why is this? Because some men are obstinate in character and do not know how to appraise a situation. Even though something may have been successfully accomplished, they will not be pleased, so how can one expect them to approve its early inception?
