《三国志·魏书·程郭董刘蒋刘传》
身边的侍从在忠诚正直深有远虑方面，不一定能比大臣贤能，至于逢迎谄媚结党营私，也许他们会擅长。
左右忠正远虑，未必贤於大臣，至於便辟取合，或能工之。
The attendants by your side are not necessarily more worthy than the officers in their loyalty, integrity and vision. However, they may be adept at verbal flattery and artful deception, and in forming cliques and engaging in self-seeking behaviour.
