王阳明:Chuanxilu, 卷中 160

王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷中·第160条 · Philosophy · Health · Cognition · Decision

來書云:「先生又曰:『照心非動也。』豈以其循理而謂之靜歟?『妄心亦照也。』豈以其良知未嘗不在於其中,未嘗不明於其中,而視聽言動之不過則者,皆天理歟?且既曰妄心,則在妄心可謂之照,而在照心則謂之妄矣。妄與息何異?今假妄之照以續至誠之無息,竊所未明,幸再啟蒙。」 「照心非動」者,以其發於本體明覺之自然,而未嘗有所動也;有所動即妄矣。「妄心亦照」者,以其本體明覺之自然者,未嘗不在於其中,但有所動耳;無所動即照矣。無妄、無照,非以妄為照、以照為妄也。照心為照,妄心為妄,是猶有妄、有照也。有妄、有照,則猶貳也,貳則息矣。無妄、無照則不貳,不貳則不息矣。

孟子曰:「自暴者,不可與有言也;自棄者,不可與有爲也。言非禮義,謂之自暴也;吾身不能居仁由義,謂之自棄也。」「仁,人之安宅也;義,人之正路也。曠安宅而弗居,舍正路而不由,哀哉!」

羣土之長,是唯五粟。五粟之物,或赤,或青,或白,或黑,或黃。五粟五章。五粟之狀,淖而不肕,剛而不觳,不濘車輪,不汙手足。其種大重、細重、白莖、白秀,無不宜也。五粟之土,若在陵在山,在隫在衍。其陰其陽,盡宜桐柞,莫不秀長。其榆其柳,其檿其桑,其柘其櫟,其槐其楊,羣木蕃滋,數大條直以長。其澤則多魚,牧則宜牛羊。其地其樊,俱宜竹箭,藻龜楢檀,五臭生之。薜荔白芷,蘪蕪椒連,五臭所校。寡疾難老,士女皆好,其民工巧。其泉黃白,其人夷姤。五粟之土,乾而不挌,湛而不澤,無高下,葆澤以處,是謂粟土。

Warren Buffett:Berkshire 1988 Letter, Excerpt 4

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 1988 Letter to Shareholders》· 1988 Chairman's Letter · Investing

As a partial offset to the drag that our growing capital base exerts upon returns, we have a very important advantage now that we lacked 24 years ago. Then, all our capital was tied up in a textile business with inescapably poor economic characteristics. Today part of our capital is invested in some really exceptional businesses.
