《明史·列传·卷一百四十一》
近来各臣的缺点，不是事到临头不敢承担的缘故，而是平时没有严格要求的过失；也不是因循旧习的缘故，实际是遗忘了过去的规章制度的过错。 
近日诸臣之病，非临事不担当之故，乃平时未讲求之过也；亦非因循于夙习之故，实愆忘于旧章之过也。 
The shortcomings of today's ministers are not that they don't dare to take responsibility when they come across it, but the fault of not having strict requirements in ordinary times; nor is it a matter of following the old ways, but in fact the fault of forgetting the past rules and regulations.
