簾櫳高敞、看青山綠水呑吐雲煙、識乾坤之自在。 竹樹扶疏、任乳燕鳴鳩送迎時序、知物我之兩忘。

第282则

文學曰：「有司之慮遠，而權家之利近；令意所禁微，而僭奢之道著。自利害之設，三業之起，貴人之家，雲行於塗，轂擊於道，攘公法，申私利，跨山澤，擅官市，非特巨海魚鹽也；執國家之柄，以行海內，非特田常之勢、陪臣之權也；威重於六卿，富累於陶、衛，輿服僭於王公，宮室溢於制度，幷兼列宅，隔絕閭巷，閣道錯連，足以遊觀，鑿池曲道，足以騁騖，臨淵釣魚，放犬走兔，隆豺鼎力，蹋鞠鬥雞，中山素女撫流徵於堂上，鳴鼓巴俞作於堂下，婦女被羅紈，婢妾曳絺纻，子孫連車列騎，田獵出入，畢弋捷健。是以耕者釋耒而不勤，百姓冰釋而懈怠。何者？己為之而彼取之，僭侈相效，上升而不息，此百姓所以滋偽而罕歸本也。」

卷一九二·唐紀八·貞觀二年

There remained now no competitor with me at Philadelphia but the old one, Bradford; who was rich and easy, did a little printing now and then by straggling hands, but was not very anxious about the business. However, as he kept the post-office, it was imagined he had better opportunities of obtaining news; his paper was thought a better distributer of advertisements than mine, and therefore had many more, which was a profitable thing to him, and a disadvantage to me; for, tho' I did indeed receive and send papers by the post, yet the publick opinion was otherwise, for what I did send was by bribing the riders, who took them privately, Bradford being unkind enough to forbid it, which occasion'd some resentment on my part; and I thought so meanly of him for it, that, when I afterward came into his situation, I took care never to imitate it.
