韓詩外傳《卷三》
孔子觀於周廟,有欹器焉。孔子問於守廟者曰:“此謂何器也?”對曰:“此蓋為宥座之器。”孔子曰:“聞宥座器滿則覆,虛則欹,中則正,有之乎?”對曰:“ 然。”孔子使子路取水試之,滿則覆,中則正,虛則欹。孔子喟然而嘆曰:“嗚呼!惡有滿而不覆者哉!”子路曰:“敢問持滿有道乎?”孔子曰:“持滿之道,抑而損之。”子路曰:“損之有道乎?”孔子曰:“德行寬裕者,守之以恭;土地廣大者,守之以儉;祿位尊盛者,守之以卑,人眾兵強者,守之以畏;聰明睿智者、 守之以愚;博聞強記者,守之以淺。夫是之謂抑而損之。”(韓嬰《韓詩外傳》卷三)

通常想要結束對話的一方,會發出言語上的信號。禮貌上,應該對這些稱做「結束前語」的信號給予回應。如果有人不理會這些結束前語,而不結束談話,就得使用更強烈的結束前語。以下列舉一些句子可以用來表達你已經準備好要結束談話:
★ 嗯,我恐怕得走了。
★ 我真的非走不可了。(較強烈)
★ 已經很晚了。
★ 能跟你聊天真開心。
★ 很高興能見到你。(注意是過去式)
★ 我知道你很忙,所以就放你走囉。
