毋因群疑而阻獨見， 毋任己意而廢人言， 毋私小惠而傷大體， 毋借公論以快私情。

大夫曰：「賢不肖有質，而貪鄙有性，君子內潔己而不能純教於彼。故周公非不正管、蔡之邪，子產非不正鄧皙之偽也。夫內不從父兄之教，外不畏刑法之罪，周公、子產不能化，必也。今一一則責之有司，有司豈能縛其手足而使之無為非哉？」

癸亥，梁建方、契苾何力等大破處月朱邪孤注於牢山。孤注夜遁，建方使副總管高德逸輕騎追之，行五百餘里，生擒孤注，斬首九千級。軍還，御史劾奏梁建方兵力足以追討，而逗留不進；高德逸敕令市馬，自取駿者。上以建方等有功，釋不問。大理卿李道裕奏言：「德逸所取之馬，筋力異常，請實中廄。」上謂侍臣曰：「道裕法官，進馬非其本職，妄希我意；豈朕行事不為臣下所信邪！朕方自咎，故不復黜道裕耳。」

About this time I began to go out and solicit business--a branch of work I had never before attempted. I undertook to visit every person in our part of the country who was in any way connected with the kind of business that we were engaged in, and went pretty well over the states of Ohio and Indiana. I made up my mind that I could do this best by simply introducing our firm, and not pressing for immediate consignments. I told them that I represented Clark & Rockefeller, commission merchants, and that I had no wish to interfere with any connection that they had at present, but if the opportunity offered we should be glad to serve them, etc., etc.
