抱朴子外篇卷之十七

備闕》

1
抱朴子曰:騕裹於皎切駿馬也能奮蘭筋以絕景,而不能履冰以乘深。猛、虎能似雷霆以搏噬,而不能踊雲霧以淩虛。鴻鶤不能振翅於籠罩之中,輕鷂不能電擊於几筵之下。物既然矣,人亦如之。故能調和陰陽者,未必能兼百行修簡書也。能敷五邁九者,不必能全小潔經曲碎也。惠子,上相之摽也,而不能役舟橄以凌陽侯。漢高,神武之傑也,而不能治產業端檢栝。淮陰,良將之元也,而不能修農商兔飢寒。周勃,社稷之骾也,而不能答錢穀責獄辭。若以所短棄所長,則逸儕拔萃之才不用矣。責其體而論細禮,則匠世濟民之勳不著矣。天下能平其西北,地不能隆其東南,日月不能擒光於曲穴,衝風不能揚波於井底。擿齒,則松檟不及一寸之筵。桃耳,則楝梁不如鷦鷯之羽。彈鳥,則千金不及丸泥之用。縫緝,則長劍不及數分之針。何必伏巨象而捕鼠,制大鵬以司晨乎。故姜牙賣煦無所售,而見師於文武。蔣生憒慢於百里,而獨步三槐。
