22 公孫丑下:
孟子去齊。充虞路問曰:「夫子若有不豫色然。前日虞聞諸夫子曰:『君子不怨天,不尤人。』」
Gong Sun Chou II:
When Mencius left Qi, Chong Yu questioned him upon the way, saying, 'Master, you look like one who carries an air of dissatisfaction in his countenance. But formerly I heard you say, "The superior man does not murmur against Heaven, nor grudge against men."'
曰:「彼一時,此一時也。五百年必有王者興,其間必有名世者。由周而來,七百有餘歲矣。以其數則過矣,以其時考之則可矣。夫天,未欲平治天下也;如欲平治天下,當今之世,舍我其誰也?吾何為不豫哉?」
Mencius said, 'That was one time, and this is another. It is a rule that a true royal sovereign should arise in the course of five hundred years, and that during that time there should be men illustrious in their generation. From the commencement of the Zhou dynasty till now, more than seven hundred years have elapsed. Judging numerically, the date is past. Examining the character of the present time, we might expect the rise of such individuals in it. But Heaven does not yet wish that the kingdom should enjoy tranquillity and good order. If it wished this, who is there besides me to bring it about? How should I be otherwise than dissatisfied?'

16 滑稽列傳:
時會聚宮下博士諸先生與論議,共難之曰:「蘇秦、張儀一當萬乘之主,而都卿相之位,澤及後世。今子大夫修先王之術,慕聖人之義,諷誦詩書百家之言,不可勝數。著於竹帛,自以為海內無雙,即可謂博聞辯智矣。然悉力盡忠以事聖帝,曠日持久,積數十年,官不過侍郎,位不過執戟,意者尚有遺行邪?其故何也?」東方生曰:「是固非子所能備也。彼一時也,此一時也,豈可同哉!夫張儀、蘇秦之時,周室大壞,諸侯不朝,力政爭權,相禽以兵,并為十二國,未有雌雄,得士者彊,失士者亡,故說聽行通,身處尊位,澤及後世,子孫長榮。今非然也。聖帝在上,德流天下,諸侯賓服,威振四夷,連四海之外以為席,安於覆盂,天下平均,合為一家,動發舉事,猶如運之掌中。賢與不肖,何以異哉?方今以天下之大,士民之眾,竭精馳說,并進輻湊者,不可勝數。悉力慕義,困於衣食,或失門戶。使張儀、蘇秦與仆并生於今之世,曾不能得掌故,安敢望常侍侍郎乎!傳曰:『天下無害菑,雖有聖人,無所施其才;上下和同,雖有賢者,無所立功。』故曰時異則事異。雖然,安可以不務修身乎?《》曰:『鼓鐘于宮,聲聞于外。鶴鳴九皋,聲聞于天。』。茍能修身,何患不榮!太公躬行仁義七十二年,逢文王,得行其說,封於齊,七百歲而不絕。此士之所以日夜孜孜,修學行道,不敢止也。今世之處士,時雖不用,崛然獨立,塊然獨處,上觀許由,下察接輿,策同范蠡,忠合子胥,天下和平,與義相扶,寡偶少徒,固其常也。子何疑於余哉!」於是諸先生默然無以應也。

24 東方朔傳:
東方先生喟然長息,仰而應之曰:「是固非子之所能備也。彼一時也,此一時也,豈可同哉?夫蘇秦、張儀之時,周室大壞,諸侯不朝,力政爭權,相禽以兵,并為十二國,未有雌雄,得士者彊,失士者亡,故談說行焉。身處尊位,珍寶充內,外有廩倉,澤及後世,子孫長享。今則不然。聖帝流德,天下震懾,諸侯賓服,連四海之外以為帶,安於覆盂,動猶運之掌,賢不肖何以異哉?遵天之道,順地之理,物無不得其所;故綏之則安,動之則苦;尊之則為將,卑之則為虜;抗之則在青雲之上,抑之則在深泉之下;用之則為虎,不用則為鼠;雖欲盡節效情,安知前後?夫天地之大,士民之眾,竭精談說,並進輻湊者不可勝數,悉力募之,困於衣食,或失門戶。使蘇秦、張儀與僕並生於今之世,曾不得掌故,安敢望常侍郎乎!故曰時異事異。
