《新唐书·列传·卷八十二》
不固执己见而听取大家的见解，违背私人欲望来遵守道义，远离奸恶的小人，亲近忠诚正直的臣子，用至诚待人，去掉猜疑欺诈，这道理很容易懂，很容易实行，不劳神、不费力，只是在心里约束自己罢了，如果能这样哪里还忧虑什么乱臣贼子？
舍己以从众，违欲以遵道，远憸佞，亲忠直，推至诚，去逆诈，斯道甚易知，甚易行，不耗神，不劬力，第约之于心耳。
It is not difficult to understand and practice the principles of not being obstinate but listening to others, going against selfish desires and following morality, distancing ourselves from evil and cunning people and being close to loyal and upright officials, treating others with sincerity, and eliminating falsehood and treachery. It does not require much effort, but only self-discipline. If we can do this, why should we worry about treacherous officials and rebels?
