桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷4·毀學第十八 · Investing · Cognition · Action · Character

大夫曰:「學者所防固辭,禮者所以文鄙行也。故學以輔德,禮以文質。言思可道,行思可樂。惡言不出於口,邪行不及於己。動作應禮,從容中道。故禮以行之,孫以出之。是以終日言,無口過;終身行,無冤尤。今人主張官立朝以治民,疏爵分祿以褒賢,而曰『懸門腐鼠』,何辭之鄙背而悖於所聞也?」

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 1

Benjamin Franklin《The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin》· The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin · Leadership

And now I speak of thanking God, I desire with all humility to acknowledge that I owe the mentioned happiness of my past life to His kind providence, which lead me to the means I used and gave them success. My belief of this induces me to hope, though I must not presume, that the same goodness will still be exercised toward me, in continuing that happiness, or enabling me to bear a fatal reverse, which I may experience as others have done: the complexion of my future fortune being known to Him only in whose power it is to bless to us even our afflictions.
