《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪十三》
刘隗回答说：  鱼得处于江湖就会彼此相忘，人为追求道义也会彼此相忘 ， 竭尽自身的力量，以效忠贞 ，这是我的志向。 
隗答曰：  鱼相忘于江湖，人相忘于道术。  竭股肱之力，效力以忠贞 ，吾之志也。 
Liu Wei replied: "Fish that are placed in rivers and lakes will forget each other. People who pursue righteousness will also forget each other. I will exhaust my own strength and strive to be loyal. This is my aspiration."
