覺人之詐，不形於言； 受人之侮，不動於色。 此中有無窮意味，亦有無窮受用。

問：「近來用功，亦頗覺妄念不生，但腔子裏黑窣窣的。不知如何打得光明？」 先生曰：「初下手用功，如何腔子裏便得光明？譬如奔流濁水，纔貯在缸裏，初然雖定，也只是昏濁的。須俟澄定既久，自然渣滓盡去，復得清來。汝只要在良知上用功，良知存久，黑窣窣自能光明矣。今便要責效，卻是助長，不成工夫。」

卷下·第238条

文學曰：「昔文帝之時，無鹽、鐵之利而民富；今有之而百姓困乏，未見利之所利也，而見其害也。且利不從天來，不從地出，一取之民間，謂之百倍，此計之失者也。無異於愚人反裘而負薪，愛其毛，不知其皮盡也。夫李梅實多者，來年為之衰；新穀熟而舊穀為之虧。自天地不能兩盈，而況於人事乎？故利於彼者必耗於此，猶陰陽之不並曜，晝夜之有長短也。商鞅峭法長利，秦人不聊生，相與哭孝公。吳起長兵攻取，楚人搔動，相與泣悼王。其後楚日以危，秦日以弱。故利蓄而怨積，地廣而禍構，惡在利用不竭而民不知，地盡西河而人不苦也？今商鞅之冊任於內，吳起之兵用於外，行者勤於路，居者匱於室，老母號泣，怨女嘆息；文學雖欲無憂，其可得也？」

卷2·非鞅第七·第2则

明主之道，卑賤不待尊貴而見，大臣不因左右而進，百官條通，羣臣顯見。有罰者，主見其罪。有賞者，主知其功。見知不悖，賞罰不差，有不蔽之術，故無壅遏之患。亂主則不然，法令不得至於民，疏遠鬲閉而不得聞。如此者，壅遏之道也。故《明法》曰：「令出而留謂之壅。」

第67篇明法解·第8则

I should have mentioned before, that, in the autumn of the preceding year, I had form'd most of my ingenious acquaintance into a club of mutual improvement, which we called the Junto; we met on Friday evenings. The rules that I drew up required that every member, in his turn, should produce one or more queries on any point of Morals, Politics, or Natural Philosophy, to be discuss'd by the company; and once in three months produce and read an essay of his own writing, on any subject he pleased. Our debates were to be under the direction of a president, and to be conducted in the sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute, or desire of victory; and, to prevent warmth, all expressions of positiveness in opinions, or direct contradiction, were after some time made contraband, and prohibited under small pecuniary penalties.
