       【甲】世有伯乐，然后有千里马。千里马常有，而伯乐不常有。故虽有名马，祗辱于奴隶人之手，骈死于槽枥之间，不以千里称也。
       马之千里者，一食或尽粟一石。食马者不知其能千里而食也。是马也，虽有千里之能，食不饱，力不足，才美不外见，且欲与常马等不可得，安求其能千里也？
       策之不以其道，食之不能尽其材，鸣之不能通其意，执策而临之，曰：“天下无马！” 呜呼！其真无马邪？其真不知马也。

       【乙】郭隗先生曰：“臣闻古之君人，有以千金求千里马者，三年不能得。涓人言于君曰：‘请求之。’君遣之。三月得千里马，马已死，买其首五百金，反以报君。君大怒曰：‘所求者生马，安事①死马而捐②五百金？’涓人对曰：‘死马且买之③五百金，况生马乎？天下必以王为能市马，马今至矣。’于是不能期年④，千里之马至者三。今王诚⑤欲致士⑥，先从隗始。隗且见事⑦，况贤于隗者乎？岂远千里哉？”

       （注解：①安事：要……何用   ②捐：弃  ③ 之：指死马  ④期年：满一年   ⑤诚：真心 ⑥致士：纳贤士 ⑦见事：被侍奉）
