孟子曰：「有人曰：『我善為陳，我善為戰』，大罪也。國君好仁，天下無敵焉，南面而征北狄怨，東面而征西夷怨，曰：『奚為後我？』武王之伐殷也，革車三百兩，虎賁三千人。王曰：『無畏！寧爾也，非敵百姓也。』若崩厥角稽首。征之為言正也，各欲正己也，焉用戰？」

盡心下·4

先生問在坐之友：「比來工夫何似？」 一友舉虛明意思。 先生曰：「此是說光景。」 一友敘今昔異同。 先生曰：「此是說效驗。」 二友惘然，請是。 先生曰：「吾輩今日用功，只是要為善之心真切。此心真切，見善即遷、有過即改，方是真切工夫。如此，則人欲日消、天理日明。若只管求光景、說效驗，卻是助長外馳病痛，不是工夫。」

夫山西饒材、竹、穀、纑、旄、玉石；山東多魚、鹽、漆、絲、聲色；江南出枏、梓、薑、桂、金、錫、連、丹沙、犀、瑁、珠璣、齒革；龍門、碣石北多馬、牛、羊、旃裘、筋角；銅、鐵則千里往往山出棋置：此其大較也。皆中國人民所喜好，謠俗被服飲食奉生送死之具也。故待農而食之，虞而出之，工而成之，商而通之。此寧有政教發徵期會哉？人各任其能，竭其力，以得所欲。故物賤之徵貴，貴之徵賤，各勸其業，樂其事，若水之趨下，日夜無休時，不召而自來，不求而民出之。豈非道之所符，而自然之驗邪？

卷197·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝中之下貞觀十八年（甲辰，公元六四四年）·第30则

I disliked the trade, and had a strong inclination for the sea, but my father declared against it; however, living near the water, I was much in and about it, learnt early to swim well, and to manage boats; and when in a boat or canoe with other boys, I was commonly allowed to govern, especially in any case of difficulty; and upon other occasions I was generally a leader among the boys, and sometimes led them into scrapes, of which I will mention one instance, as it shows an early projecting public spirit, tho' not then justly conducted.
