《南史·列传·卷三十七》
柳元景、颜师伯曾经去看望沈庆之，和他一块去田间游玩，柳元景等鸣笳列卒满路，沈庆之独自与随从一人在田里，见到他们表情变得忧愁地说： 贫贱不能长居，富贵也难自守。
柳元景、顔师伯尝诣庆之，会其游田，元景等鸣笳列卒满道，庆之独与左右一人在田，见之悄然改容曰： 夫贫贱不可居，富贵亦难守。
Liu Yuanjing and Yan Shibo once visited Shen Qingzhi and went to the countryside with him to play. Liu Yuanjing and others played trumpets and lined up the soldiers, while Shen Qingzhi was alone with one attendant in the field. When they saw them, he looked sad and said: Poverty cannot last long, and wealth is hard to keep.
