糞蟲至穢,變為蟬而飲露於秋風; 腐草無光,化為螢而耀采於夏月。 固知潔常自污出,明每從晦生也。

王阳明:Chuanxilu, 卷上 72

王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷上·第72条 · Cognition · Health · Wealth · Investing

澄曰:「好色、好利、好名等心,固是私欲。如閒思雜慮,如何亦謂之私欲?」 先生曰:「畢竟從好色、好利、好名等根上起,自尋其根便見。如汝心中決知是無有做劫盜的思慮,何也?以汝元無是心也。汝若於貨、色、名、利等心,一切皆如不做劫盜之心一般,都消滅了,光光只是心之本體,看有甚閒思慮?此便是『寂然不動』,便是『未發之中』,便是『廓然大公』。自然『感而遂通』,自然『發而中節』,自然『物來順應』。」

Warren Buffett:Berkshire 2011 Letter, Excerpt 3

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 2011 Letter to Shareholders》· 2011 Chairman's Letter · Investing

• In total, our entire string of operating companies spent $8.2 billion for property, plant and equipment in 2011, smashing our previous record by more than $2 billion. About 95% of these outlays were made in the U.S., a fact that may surprise those who believe our country lacks investment opportunities. We welcome projects abroad, but expect the overwhelming majority of Berkshire’s future capital commitments to be in America. In 2012, these expenditures will again set a record.
