《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪五》
少年时，他隐居在乡间，不求仕进，有人劝他入仕做官，他说： 州和郡的官职是从前的人所瞧不上的；朝廷宰辅的位置，必须等待时机来到才可以获得。 
少时，屏居闾里，不求仕进，或劝之仕，谨曰： 州郡之职，昔人所鄙；台鼎之位，须待时来。 
When he was young, he lived in the countryside and did not seek official career. Someone persuaded him to enter the official career, he said: The official positions of the prefecture and county were despised by the people before; the position of Prime Minister of the imperial court must wait for the right time to come.
