矜高倨傲，無非客氣，降伏得客氣下，而後正氣伸； 情欲意識，盡屬妄心，消殺得妄心盡，而後真心現。

孔子曰：「益者三樂，損者三樂：樂節禮樂，樂道人之善，樂多賢友，益矣；樂驕樂，樂佚遊，樂宴樂，損矣。」

大夫曰：「布心腹，質情素，信誠內感，義形乎色。宋華元、楚司馬子反之相睹也，符契內合，誠有以相信也。今匈奴挾不信之心，懷不測之詐，見利如前，乘便而起，潛進市側，以襲無備。是猶措重寶於道路而莫之守也。求其不亡，何可得乎？」

卷198·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝下之上貞觀二十年（丙午，公元六四六年）·第12则

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

I have been the more particular in this description of my journey, and shall be so of my first entry into that city, that you may in your mind compare such unlikely beginnings with the figure I have since made there. I was in my working dress, my best cloaths being to come round by sea. I was dirty from my journey; my pockets were stuff'd out with shirts and stockings, and I knew no soul nor where to look for lodging. I was fatigued with travelling, rowing, and want of rest, I was very hungry; and my whole stock of cash consisted of a Dutch dollar, and about a shilling in copper. The latter I gave the people of the boat for my passage, who at first refus'd it, on account of my rowing; but I insisted on their taking it. A man being sometimes more generous when he has but a little money than when he has plenty, perhaps thro' fear of being thought to have but little.
