《汉书·传·赵充国辛庆忌传》
现在同样不能禁止敌人小规模地入侵，又放弃坐等取胜的方法，采取冒险之势，前去最终不会得利，却使内部空虚自己疲惫，削减实力而自我损耗，这并不是用来向蛮夷示威的好办法。
即今同是而释坐胜之道，从乘危之势，往终不见利，空内自罢敝，贬重而自损，非所以视蛮夷也。
Now, it is also impossible to prevent the enemy from invading on a small scale, and to abandon the method of waiting to win, and to take risks and go ahead, will not eventually profit, but will make the interior empty and tired, and reduce its strength and self-consumption. Not a good way to show off to the barbarians.
