《淮南子·主术训》
所以皋陶尽管聋哑，但就是凭着哑疾而做上了舜帝的司法官，天下没有暴虐的刑罚，哑巴却有着比语言更值得珍贵的地方；师旷眼瞎而当上晋国的太宰，晋国便没有混乱的政局，瞎子有着比明目者更珍贵的东西。
故皋陶瘖而为大理，天下无虐刑，有贵于言者也；师旷瞽而为太宰，晋无乱政，有贵于见者也。
Thus, even though Gao Tao was deaf and mute, he became the Shun Emperor's Minister of Justice due to his deafness. The天下 had no cruel punishments; the mute had something more precious than speech. Even though Shi Kuang was blind and became the Jin's Grand Administrator, the Jin had no political chaos; the blind had something more precious than clear eyesight.
