諸軍所虜高麗民萬四千口,先集幽州,將以賞軍士,上愍其父子夫婦離散,命有司平其直,悉以錢布贖為民,歡呼之聲,三日不息。十一月,辛未,車駕至幽州,高麗民迎於城東,拜舞號呼,宛轉於地,塵埃彌望。

大夫曰:「燕之涿、薊,趙之邯鄲,魏之溫軹,韓之滎陽,齊之臨淄,楚之宛、陳,鄭之陽翟,三川之二周,富冠海內,皆為天下名都,非有助之耕其野而田其地者也,居五諸之沖,跨街衢之路也。故物豐者民衍,宅近市者家富。富在術數,不在勞身;利在勢居,不在力耕也。

王阳明:Chuanxilu, 卷下 216

王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷下·第216条 · Leadership · Cognition · Philosophy · Learning

九川問:「自省念慮,或涉邪妄,或預料理天下事,思到極處,井井有味,便繾綣難屏,覺得早則易,覺遲則難,用力克治,愈覺扞格,惟稍遷念他事,則隨兩忘。如此廓清,亦似無害。」 先生曰:「何須如此,只要在良知上著功夫。」 九川曰:「正謂那一時不知。」 先生曰:「我這裏自有功夫,何緣得他來?只為爾功夫斷了,便蔽其知。既斷了,則繼續舊功便是,何必如此?」 九川曰:「直是難鏖,雖知丟他不去。」 先生曰:「須是勇;用功久,自有勇。故曰『是集義所生者』,勝得容易,便是大賢。」

Warren Buffett:Berkshire 2006 Letter, Excerpt 2

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 2006 Letter to Shareholders》· 2006 Chairman's Letter · Investing

Charlie and I measure Berkshire’s progress and evaluate its intrinsic value in a number of ways. No single criterion is effective in doing these jobs, and even an avalanche of statistics will not capture some factors that are important. For example, it’s essential that we have managers much younger than I available to succeed me. Berkshire has never been in better shape in this regard – but I can’t prove it to you with numbers.
