出自先秦《荀子·解蔽》。大凡是人，往往都有惑于枝节问题而看不清大局的毛病。说明人性的弱点：看问题不全面，往往惑于表面现象，结果“只见树木，不见森林”，“捡了芝麻，丢了西瓜”。

The first fruit of this imagination - and the first lesson of the social science that embodies it - is the idea that the individual can understand his own experience and gauge his own fate only by locating himself within his period, that he can know his own chances in life only by becoming aware of those of all individuals in his circumstances.

出自先秦《荀子·修身》。利益少，但是道义多，这样的事要做。在利与义之间要舍利而取义，强调的是一种修身原则。
