卷第七

1
夫山皋非为鸟植林,林茂而鸟自栖之;江湖非为鱼凿潭,潭深而鱼自归之;处世非为人积财,财积而人自依之。非其所招,势使然也。怀璧之子,未必能惠,而人竞亲者,有惠人之资也;被褐之士,性能轻财,而皆踈之者,无惠人之资也。令富而俭𠫤,犹见亲敬;贫而仁施,必见踈慢。非行之失,彼情变也。策驷登山,不得直辔而行;泛舟入海,不得安身而坐。何者?山路迂回,海水沦没,行者欲直而路曲之,坐者欲安而水荡之,仁者欲施而贫遏之。富而赈物,德不为难;贫而俭啬,行非为过。天之道损有馀,人之情矜不足也。昆山之下,以玉抵乌;彭蠡之滨,以鱼食犬。而人不爱者,非性轻财,所丰故也。挈瓶水,执萑求火,而人不恡,非性好施,有馀故也。口非匏瓜,不得不食;身非木石,不得不衣。食不满腹,岂得辍口而惠人?衣不蔽形,何得露体而施物?非性俭恡,不足故也。饥馑之春,不赈朋戚;多稔之秋,飨及四怜。不赈朋戚,人之恶;惠及四怜,人之善。盖善恶之行,出于性情而系于饥穰也。以此观之:太丰则恩情生,窭乏则仁惠废也。相马者失在于瘦,求千里之步亏也;相人者失在于贫,求恩惠之迹缺也。轻财之士,世非少也,然而不见者,贫掩之也。德行未著而称我能,犹足不能行而卖躄药,望人信之,实为难矣。
