舜有臣五人，而天下治。武王曰：「予有亂臣十人。」孔子曰：「『才難』，不其然乎？唐虞之際，於斯爲盛，有婦人焉，九人而已。三分天下有其二，以服事殷、周之德，其可謂至德也已矣！」

泰伯第八·八之二十

有浮雲富貴之風。而不必岩棲穴處。無膏肓泉石之癖。而常自醉酒耽詩。 競逐聽人、而不謙盡醉。 括淡適己、而不誇獨醒。 此釋氏所謂、不為法纏、不為空纏、身心兩自在者

Secondly, it may be employed in the improvement of land, in the purchase of useful machines and instruments of trade, or in such like things as yield a revenue or profit without changing masters, or circulating any further. Such capitals, therefore, may very properly be called fixed capitals.

Capital no longer hesitated to embark in manufacturing, confident as it was that the nation would protect it as long as necessary. Years after the war, demands for a reduction of the tariff arose and it was my lot to be drawn into the controversy. It was often charged that bribery of Congressmen by manufacturers was common. So far as I know there was no foundation for this. Certainly the manufacturers never raised any sums beyond those needed to maintain the Iron and Steel Association, a matter of a few thousand dollars per year. They did, however, subscribe freely to a campaign when the issue was Protection _versus_ Free Trade.

It is self-evident that a majority of the people in the world are not mentally--even if they are physically--capable of making a good living. That is, they are not capable of furnishing with their own hands a sufficient quantity of the goods which this world needs to be able to exchange their unaided product for the goods which they need. I have heard it said, in fact I believe it is quite a current thought, that we have taken skill out of work. We have not. We have put in skill. We have put a higher skill into planning, management, and tool building, and the results of that skill are enjoyed by the man who is not skilled. This I shall later enlarge on.
