文學曰：「朝無忠臣者政闇，大夫無直士者位危。任座正言君之過，文侯改言行，稱為賢君。袁盎面刺絳侯之驕矜，卒得其慶。故觸死亡以幹主之過者，忠臣也，犯顏以匡公卿之失者，直士也。鄙人不能巷言面違。方今入谷之教令，張而不施，食祿多非其人，以妨農商工，市井之利，未歸於民，民望不塞也。且夫帝王之道，多墮壞而不修，詩云：『濟濟多士。』意者誠任用其計，非茍陳虛言而已。」

孟子曰：「以善服人者，未有能服人者也。以善養人，然後能服天下。天下不心服而王者，未之有也。」

文學曰：「轡銜者，御之具也，得良工而調。法勢者，治之具也，得賢人而化。執轡非其人，則馬奔馳。執軸非其人，則船覆傷。昔吳使宰嚭持軸而破其船，秦使趙高執轡而覆其車。今廢仁義之術，而任刑名之徒，則復吳、秦之事也。夫為君者法三王，為相者法周公，為術者法孔子，此百世不易之道也。韓非非先王而不遵，舍正令而不從，卒蹈陷阱，身幽囚，客死於秦。夫不通大道而小辯，斯足以害其身而已。」

戊寅，詔曰：「隋故鷹擊郎將堯君素，雖桀犬吠堯，有乖倒戈之志，而疾風勁草，實表歲寒之心；可贈蒲州刺史，仍訪其子孫以聞。」

卷195·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝中之上貞觀十二年（戊戌，公元六三八年）·第6则

And now I set on foot my first project of a public nature, that for a subscription library. I drew up the proposals, got them put into form by our great scrivener, Brockden, and, by the help of my friends in the Junto, procured fifty subscribers of forty shillings each to begin with, and ten shillings a year for fifty years, the term our company was to continue. We afterwards obtain'd a charter, the company being increased to one hundred: this was the mother of all the North American subscription libraries, now so numerous. It is become a great thing itself, and continually increasing. These libraries have improved the general conversation of the Americans, made the common tradesmen and farmers as intelligent as most gentlemen from other countries, and perhaps have contributed in some degree to the stand so generally made throughout the colonies in defense of their privileges.
