	Dao De Jing:	(Minimising the light) When one is about to take an inspiration, he is sure to make a (previous) expiration; when he is going to weaken another, he will first strengthen him; when he is going to overthrow another, he will first have raised him up; when he is going to despoil another, he will first have made gifts to him: - this is called 'Hiding the light (of his procedure).' The soft overcomes the hard; and the weak the strong. Fishes should not be taken from the deep; instruments for the profit of a state should not be shown to the people.

喻老:

越王入宦于吴，而观之伐齐以弊吴。吴兵既胜齐人于艾陵，张之于江、济，强之于黄池，故可制于五湖。故曰：“将欲翕之，必固张之；将欲弱之，必固强之。”晋献公将欲袭虞，遗之以璧马；知伯将袭仇由，遗之以广车。故曰：“将欲取之，必固与之。”起事于无形，而要大功于天下，是谓微明。处小弱而重自卑谓损弱胜强也。

说林上:

智伯索地于魏宣子，魏宣子弗予，任章曰：“何故不予？”宣子曰：“无故请地，故弗予。”任章曰：“无故索地，邻国必恐，彼重欲无厌，天下必惧，君予之地，智伯必骄而轻敌，邻邦必惧而相亲，以相亲之兵待轻敌之国，则智伯之命不长矣。《》曰：“将欲败之，必姑辅之，将欲取之，必姑予之。”君不如予之以骄智伯。且君何释以天下图智氏，而独以吾国为智氏质乎？”君曰：“善。”乃与之万户之邑，智伯大悦。因索地于赵，弗与，因围晋阳，韩、魏反之外，赵氏应之内，智氏自亡。

知伯索地... :

知伯索地于魏桓子，魏桓子弗予。任章曰：“何故弗予？”桓子曰：“无故索地，故弗予。”任章曰：“无故索地，邻国必恐；重欲无厌，天下必惧。君予之地，知伯必骄。骄而轻敌，邻国惧而相亲。以相亲之兵，待轻敌之国，知氏之命不长矣！《》曰：‘’君不如与之，以骄知伯。君何释以天下图知氏而独以吾国为知氏质乎？”君曰：“善。”乃与之万家之邑一。知伯大说。因索蔡、皋梁于赵，赵弗与，因围晋阳。韩、魏反于外，赵氏应之于内，知氏遂亡。
