把握未定、宜絶迹塵囂。 使此心不見可欲而不乱、以澄吾靜體。 操持既堅、又當混迹風塵。 使此心見可欲而亦不乱、以養吾圓機。

Adam Smith:The Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter VIII, Paragraph 226

Adam Smith《The Wealth of Nations》· Book I, Chapter VIII · Investing

In years of scarcity, the difficulty and uncertainty of subsistence make all such people eager to return to service. But the high price of provisions, by diminishing the funds destined for the maintenance of servants, disposes masters rather to diminish than to increase the number of those they have. In dear years, too, poor independent workmen frequently consume the little stock with which they had used to supply themselves with the materials of their work, and are obliged to become journeymen for subsistence. More people want employment than easily get it; many are willing to take it upon lower terms than ordinary; and the wages of both servants and journeymen frequently sink in dear years.

司馬光:Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 194, Entry 15

司馬光《資治通鑑》· 卷194·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝上之下貞觀六年(壬辰,公元六三二年) · Leadership · Decision · Action · Philosophy

閏月,乙卯,上宴近臣於丹霄殿,長孫無忌曰;「王珪、魏徵,昔為仇讎,不謂今日得同此宴。」上曰:「征、珪盡心所事,故我用之。然征每諫,我不從,我與之言輒不應,何也?」魏徵對曰:「臣以事為不可,故諫;若陛下不從而臣應之,則事遂施行,故不敢應。」上曰:「且應而復諫,庸何傷!」對曰:「昔舜戒郡臣:『爾無面從,退有後言。』臣心知其非而口應陛下,乃面從也,豈稷、契事舜之意邪!」上大笑曰:「人言魏徵舉止疏慢,我視之更覺嫵媚,正為此耳!」征起,拜謝曰:「陛下開臣使言,故臣得盡其愚,若陛下拒而不受,臣何敢數犯顏色乎!」

Warren Buffett:Berkshire 2022 Letter, Excerpt 1

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 2022 Letter to Shareholders》· 2022 Chairman's Letter · Investing

Charlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.
