The particular consideration, first, of those parts of the produce of land which always afford some rent; secondly, of those which sometimes may and sometimes may not afford rent; and, thirdly, of the variations which, in the different periods of improvement, naturally take place in the relative value of those two different sorts of rude produce, when compared both with one another and with manufactured commodities, will divide this chapter into three parts.

孟子:Mencius, 梁惠王上 3

孟子《孟子》· 梁惠王上·3 · Philosophy · Health · Decision · Leadership

梁惠王曰:「寡人之於國也,盡心焉耳矣。河內凶,則移其民於河東,移其粟於河內;河東凶亦然。察鄰國之政,無如寡人之用心者。鄰國之民不加少,寡人之民不加多,何也?」 孟子對曰:「王好戰,請以戰喻。填然鼓之,兵刃既接,棄甲曳兵而走。或百步而後止,或五十步而後止;以五十步笑百步,則何如?」 曰:「不可,直不百步耳,是亦走也。」 曰:「王如知此,則無望民之多於鄰國也。不違農時,穀不可勝食也;數罟不入洿池,魚鼈不可勝食也;斧斤以時入山林,材木不可勝用也。穀與魚鼈不可勝食,材木不可勝用;是使民養生喪死無憾也。養生喪死無憾,王道之始也。五畝之宅,樹之以桑,五十者可以衣帛矣;雞豚狗彘之畜,無失其時,七十者可以食肉矣;百畝之田,勿奪其時,數口之家可以無饑矣。謹庠序之教,申之以孝悌之義,頒白者不負戴於道路矣。七十者衣帛食肉,黎民不饑不寒,然而不王者,未之有也。狗彘食人食而不知檢,塗有餓莩而不知發。人死,則曰:『非我也,歲也。』是何異於刺人而殺之,曰:『非我也,兵也。』王無罪歲,斯天下之民至焉。」

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 41

Benjamin Franklin《The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin》· The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin · Leadership

When we were about to sign the above-mentioned articles, which were to be binding upon us, our heirs, etc., for fifty years, Mr. Brockden, the scrivener, said to us, "You are young men, but it is scarcely probable that any of you will live to see the expiration of the term fix'd in the instrument." A number of us, however, are yet living; but the instrument was after a few years rendered null by a charter that incorporated and gave perpetuity to the company.
