《淮南子·说山训》
有相马的，却不能识别出良马来，但是良马并不因此就不存在于这群被鉴别的马中。现在如果有户人家失火，有的是拿着易燃的东西去助长火势，有的却是传递水桶去救火，尽管这两种人都没有达到各自的目的，但受火烧的人家对这两种人的憎恨和感激之情却有天壤之别。
今人放烧，或操火往益之，或接水往救之，两者皆未有功，而怨德相去亦远矣。
If a person is good at looking at horses, they may still not be able to identify a good horse, however, good horses do still exist among those that have been identified. If a family's house caught fire, and there is a person who takes something flammable to fuel the fire, and another who takes a bucket to put it out, although both have not fulfilled their goals, the feelings of gratitude and hatred from the family who has lost their property will be vastly different.
