《后汉书·列传·第五钟离宋寒列传》
但那些出入贵戚之门的人，好像多半是有缺点或被拘禁过的，特别少有安分守己、安贫乐道的气节，加上士大夫中一些无志之徒互相吹捧，云集在他的门下。
然诸出入贵戚者，类多瑕衅禁锢之人，尤少守约安贫之节，士大夫无志之徒更相贩卖，云集其门。
But those who go to the nobles' homes seem to mostly have shortcomings or have been detained before, especially those with the integrity of being contented with one's position and enjoying one's life, plus the incompetent among the literati who flatter each other gathered at his door.
