《资治通鉴·隋纪·隋纪三》
又说： 听到诽谤就发怒的人容易中了进谗言者的圈套，听到称赞就高兴的人容易为阿谀奉承的人所利用。如果去掉这些毛病，谗言奸佞就会远离而去。 
又曰： 闻谤而怒者，谗之也；见誉而喜者，佞之媒也；绝去媒，谗佞远矣。 
He also said: People who get angry when they hear slander are easily trapped by those who spread rumors, and people who are happy when they hear compliments are easily used by flatterers. If these faults are eliminated, those who speak ill and flatter will stay away.
