上以遼左早寒,草枯水凍,士馬難久留,且糧食將盡,癸未,敕班師。先拔遼、蓋二州戶口渡遼,乃耀兵於安市城下而旋,城中皆屏跡不出。城主登城拜辭,上嘉其固守,賜縑百匹,以勵事君。命李世勣、江夏王道宗將步騎四萬為殿。

顏淵問「仁」。子曰:「克己復禮爲仁。一日克己復禮,天下歸仁焉,爲仁由己,而由人乎哉?」顏淵曰:「請問其目。」子曰:「非禮勿視,非禮勿聽,非禮勿言,非禮勿動。」顏淵曰:「回雖不敏,請事斯語矣!」

Adam Smith:The Wealth of Nations, Book II, Chapter II, Paragraph 789

Adam Smith《The Wealth of Nations》· Book II, Chapter II · Investing

In 1697, the bank was allowed to enlarge its capital stock, by an ingraftment of £1,001,171:10s. Its whole capital stock, therefore, amounted at this time to £2,201,171: 10s. This ingraftment is said to have been for the support of public credit. In 1696, tallies had been at forty, and fifty, and sixty, per cent. discount, and bank notes at twenty per cent. {James Postlethwaite’s History of the Public Revenue, p.301.} During the great re-coinage of the silver, which was going on at this time, the bank had thought proper to discontinue the payment of its notes, which necessarily occasioned their discredit.

John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 60

John D. Rockefeller《Random Reminiscences of Men and Events》· Chapter III · Leadership

Beyond question there is a suspicion of corporations. There may be reason for such suspicion very often; for a corporation may be moral or immoral, just as a man may be moral or the reverse; but it is folly to condemn all corporations because some are bad, or even to be unduly suspicious of all, because some are bad. But the corporation in form and character has come to stay--that is a thing that may be depended upon. Even small firms are becoming corporations, because it is a convenient form of partnership.
