桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 10, 詔聖第五十八, Entry 1

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷10·詔聖第五十八 · Investing · Decision · Philosophy · Leadership

御史曰:「夏後氏不倍言,殷誓,周盟,德信彌衰。無文、武之人,欲修其法,此殷、周之所以失勢,而見奪於諸侯也。故衣弊而革才,法弊而更制。高皇帝時,天下初定,發德音,行一切之令,權也,非撥亂反正之常也。其後,法稍犯,不正於理。故奸萌而甫刑作,王道衰而詩刺彰,諸侯暴而春秋譏。夫少目之網不可以得魚,三章之法不可以為治。故令不得不加,法不得不多。唐、虞畫衣冠非阿,湯、武刻肌膚非故,時世不同,輕重之務異也。」

管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第49篇內業, Entry 5

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第49篇內業 · Health · Philosophy · Cognition · Character

凡道必周必密,必寬必舒,必堅必固。守善勿舍,逐淫澤薄,既知其極,反於道德。全心在中,不可蔽匿。和於形容,見於膚色。善氣迎人,親於弟兄。惡氣迎人,害於戎兵。不言之聲,疾於雷鼓。心氣之形,明於日月,察於父母。賞不足以勸善,刑不足以懲過。氣意得而天下服,心意定而天下聽。搏氣如神,萬物備存。能搏乎?能一乎?能無卜筮而知吉凶乎?能止乎?能已乎?能勿求諸人而之己乎?思之思之,又重思之。思之而不通,鬼神將通之。非鬼神之力也,精氣之極也。四體既正,血氣既靜,一意搏心,耳目不淫,雖遠若近。

Henry Ford《My Life and Work》· Chapter II · Leadership

I rented a shop--a one-story brick shed--at 81 Park Place to continue my experiments and to find out what business really was. I thought that it must be something different from what it had proved to be in my first adventure.
