故凡誘之歌詩者，非但發其志意而已，亦所以洩其跳號呼嘯於詠歌，宣其幽抑結滯於音節也；導之習禮者，非但肅其威儀而已，亦所以周旋揖讓而動蕩其血脈，拜起屈伸而固束其筋骸也；諷之讀書者，非但開其知覺而已，亦所以沈潛反復而存其心，抑揚諷誦以宣其志也；凡此皆所以順導其志意，調理其性情，潛消其鄙吝，默化其麤頑，日使之漸於禮義而不苦其難，入於中和而不知其故，是蓋先王立教之微意也。

文學曰：「行遠道者假於車，濟江、海者因於舟。故賢士之立功成名，因於資而假物者也。公輸子能因人主之材木，以構宮室臺榭，而不能自為專屋狹廬，材不足也。歐冶能因國君之銅鐵，以為金爐大鐘，而不能自為壺鼎盤杅，無其用也。君子能因人主之正朝，以和百姓，潤眾庶，而不能自饒其家，勢不便也。故舜耕歷山，恩不及州里，太公屠牛於朝歌，利不及妻子，及其見用，恩流八荒，德溢四海。故舜假之堯，太公因之周，君子能修身以假道者，不能枉道而假財也。」

卷4·貧富第十七·第4则

人君唯毋聽羣徒比周，則羣臣朋黨，蔽美揚惡，然則國之情僞不見於上。如是則朋黨者處前，寡黨者處後。夫朋黨者處前，賢不肖不分，則爭奪之亂起，而君在危殆之中矣。故曰：「羣徒比周之說勝，則賢不肖不分。」

第65篇立政九敗解·第6则

Gains in book value are, of course, not the bottom line at Berkshire. What truly counts are gains in per-share intrinsic business value. Ordinarily, though, the two measures tend to move roughly in tandem, and in 1997 that was the case: Led by a blow-out performance at GEICO, Berkshire's intrinsic value (which far exceeds book value) grew at nearly the same pace as book value.
