《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪十三》
江夏王李道宗曾经语气和缓地对太宗说： 侯君集志大才疏，自认为有些功劳，对于位居房玄龄、李靖之下感到羞耻，虽然身为吏部尚书，还是不能满足他的愿望。
江夏王道宗尝从容言于上曰： 君集志大而智小，自负微功，耻在房玄龄、李靖之下，虽为吏部尚书，未满其志。
King Li Daozong of Jiangxia once said to Taizong in a gentle tone: Hou Junji is ambitious but lacking in talent. He thinks he has done some meritorious service and is ashamed to be inferior to Fang Xuanling and Li Jing. Even though he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he still cannot fulfill his wishes.
