大夫曰：「司馬子言：『天下穰穰，皆為利往。』趙女不擇醜好，鄭嫗不擇遠近，商人不媿恥辱，戎士不愛死力，士不在親，事君不避其難，皆為利祿也。儒、墨內貪外矜，往來遊說，棲棲然亦未為得也。故尊榮者士之願也，富貴者士之期也。方李斯在荀卿之門，阘茸與之齊軫，及其奮翼高舉，龍升驥騖，過九軼二，翺翔萬仞，鴻鵠華騮且同侶，況跛牂燕雀之屬乎！席天下之權，禦宇內之眾，後車百乘，食祿萬鐘。而拘儒布褐不完，糟糠不飽，非甘菽藿而卑廣廈，亦不能得已。雖欲嚇人，其何已乎！」

習讀書之業，便當知讀書之樂。存為善之心，不必邀為善之名 孝子忠臣，是天地正氣所鍾，鬼神亦為之呵護

文學曰：「孟子云：『不違農時，穀不可勝食。蠶麻以時，布帛不可勝衣也。斧斤以時，材木不可勝用。田漁以時，魚肉不可勝食。』若則飾宮室，增臺榭，梓匠斲巨為小，以圓為方，上成雲氣，下成山林，則材木不足用也。男子去本為末，雕文刻鏤，以象禽獸，窮物究變，則穀不足食也。婦女飾微治細，以成文章，極伎盡巧，則絲布不足衣也。庖宰烹殺胎卵，煎炙齊和，窮極五味，則魚肉不足食也。當今世，非患禽獸不損，材木不勝，患僭侈之無窮也；非患無旃罽橘柚，患無狹廬糠糟也。」

卷194·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝上之下貞觀十年（丙申，公元六三六年）·第18则

For long years after the head of this bank was a friend indeed; he loaned me money when I needed it, and I needed it almost all the time, and all the money he had. It was a source of gratification that later I was able to go to him and recommend that he should make a certain investment in Standard Oil stock. He agreed that he would like to do so, but he said that the sum involved was not at the moment available, and so at my suggestion I turned banker for him, and in the end he took out his principal with a very handsome profit. It is a pleasure to testify even at this late date to his great kindness and faith in me.
