是故以求能其事而言謂之學，以求解其惑而言謂之問，以求通其說而言謂之思，以求精其察而言謂之辨，以求履其實而言謂之行：蓋析其功而言則有五，合其事而言則一而已。此區區心、理合一之體，知、行並進之功，所以異於後世之說者，正在於是。 今吾子特舉學、問、思、辨，以窮天下之理，而不及篤行，是專以學、問、思、辨為知，而謂窮理為無行也已；天下豈有不行而學者邪？豈有不行而遂可謂之窮理者邪？明道云：「只窮理便盡性至命。」故必仁極仁而後謂之能窮仁之理，義極義而後謂之能窮義之理。仁極仁則盡仁之性矣，義極義則盡義之性矣，學至於窮理，至矣，而尚未措之於行，天下寧有是邪？是故知不行之不可以為學，則知不行之不可以為窮理矣，知不行之不可以為窮理，則知「知、行」之合一並進，而不可以分為兩節事矣。 夫萬事萬物之理，不外於吾心；而必曰窮天下之理，是殆以吾心之良知為未足，而必外求於天下之廣，以裨補增益之，是猶析心與理而為二也。

The rent and profit of those productions, therefore, which require either a greater original expense of improvement in order to fit the land for them, or a greater annual expense of cultivation, though often much superior to those of corn and pasture, yet when they do no more than compensate such extraordinary expense, are in reality regulated by the rent and profit of those common crops.

This was the arrangement which gave us what were then the gigantic contracts of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It is needless to say that I never had to pay that bond. My partners knew much better than Mr. Garrett the conditions of his work. The Ohio River was not to be trifled with, and long before his masonry was ready we had relieved ourselves from all responsibility upon the bond by placing the superstructure on the banks awaiting the completion of the substructure which he was still building.
