《梁书·列传·卷十三》
天意不可违抗，人心不可失去，假如天道安排如此，您即使想要谦逊礼让，而实际上也是办不到的。 高祖说： 我正在考虑此事。 
天心不可违，人情不可失，苟是历数所至，虽欲谦光，亦不可得已。 高祖曰： 吾方思之。 
The will of heaven cannot be resisted, and the hearts of the people cannot be lost. If this is what the way of Heaven has arranged, you will not be able to avoid it even if you wish to be humble and courteous. The Great Ancestor said: I am considering this matter.
