桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 5, 殊路第二十一, Entry 3

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷5·殊路第二十一 · Investing · Growth · Philosophy · Leadership

大夫曰:「至美素璞,物莫能飾也。至賢保真,偽文莫能增也。故金玉不琢,美珠不畫。今仲由、冉求無檀柘之材,隋、和之璞,而強文之,譬若雕朽木而礪鈆刀,飾嫫母畫土人也。被以五色,斐然成章,及遭行潦流波,則沮矣。夫重懷古道,枕籍詩、書,危不能安,亂不能治,郵裏逐雞,雞亦無黨也?」

「夫天地一險一易,若鼓之有楟,擿擋則擊」,言苟有唱之,必有和之,和之不差,因以盡天地之道。景不爲曲物直,響不爲惡聲美,是以聖人明乎物之性者,必以其類來也。故君子繩繩乎慎其所先。

Henry Ford:My Life and Work, Excerpt 49

Henry Ford《My Life and Work》· Chapter V · Leadership

It is not possible, without going deeply into technical processes, to present the whole development of manufacturing, step by step, in the order in which each thing came about. I do not know that this could be done, because something has been happening nearly every day and nobody can keep track. Take at random a number of the changes. From them it is possible not only to gain some idea of what will happen when this world is put on a production basis, but also to see how much more we pay for things than we ought to, and how much lower wages are than they ought to be, and what a vast field remains to be explored. The Ford Company is only a little way along on the journey.
