《战国策·齐三·孟尝君在薛》
善于游说的人，陈述形势，谈论方略，别人听了也会着急，就像自己在困境中一样，哪里用得着使用很大的力量去求援呢！
善说者，陈其势，言其方，人之急也，若自在隘窘之中，岂用强力哉!
Those who are adept at lobbying set out the situation and talk about strategies. Others will also become anxious after hearing, just as if they are in a desperate situation — how could they need to use great force to request aid?
