抱朴子外篇卷之十二

任能》

或曰:尾大於身者,不可掉;臣賢於君者,不可任。故口不容而強吞之者必哽,才非匹而委仗之者見輕。抱朴子曰:詭哉,言乎。昔者,荊子總角而攝相事,實賴二十五老,臻乎惠康。子賤起家而治大邦,蹇由勝己者多,而招其弘益。齊桓殺兄而立,鳥獸其行,被髮彞酒,婦閭三百,委政仲父,遂為霸宗。夷吾既終,禍亂亟起。魯用季子,二十餘年,內無粃政,外無侵削。人之亡沒,殄瘁響集。豈非才所不遠,其功如彼;自任其事,其禍如此乎。漢高決策於玄幃,定勝乎千里,則不如良、平。治兵多而益善,所向無敵,則不如信、布。兼而用之,帝業克成。故疾步累趨,未若託乘乎逸足;尋飛逐走,未若假伎乎鷹犬。夫勁弩難豰,而可以摧堅逮遠。大舟難乘,而可以致重濟深。猛將難御,而可以折衝拓境。高賢難臨,而可以攸敘彞倫。昔魯哀庸主也,仲尼上聖不敢不盡其節。齊景下才也,而晏嬰大賢不敢不竭其誠。豈有人臣當與其君校智力之多少,計局量之優劣,必須堯、舜乃為之役哉。何事非君?何使非民?恥令其君不及唐、虞,此亦達者之用心也。
