桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 9, 險固第五十, Entry 4

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷9·險固第五十 · Investing · Philosophy · Cognition · Growth

文學曰:「地利不如人和,武力不如文德。周之致遠,不以地利,以人和也。百世不奪,非以險,以德也。吳有三江、五湖之難,而兼於越。楚有汝淵、兩堂之固,而滅於秦。秦有隴阺、崤塞,而亡於諸侯。晉有河、華、九阿,而奪於六卿。齊有泰山、巨海,而脅於田常。桀、紂有天下,兼於滈亳。秦王以六合困於陳涉。非地利不固,無術以守之也。釋邇憂遠,猶吳不內定其國,而西絕淮水與齊、晉爭強也;越因其罷,擊其虛。使吳王用申胥,修德,無恃極其眾,則句踐不免為藩臣海崖,何謀之敢慮也?」

司馬光:Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 192, Entry 14

司馬光《資治通鑑》· 卷192·高祖神堯大聖光孝皇帝下之下武德九年(丙戌,公元六二六年) · Leadership · Health · Wealth · Investing

丙午,上與群臣論止盜。或請重法以禁之,上哂之曰:「民之所以為盜者,由賦繁役重,官吏貪求,饑寒切身,故不暇顧廉恥耳。朕當去奢省費,輕徭薄賦,選用廉吏,使民主食有餘,則自不為盜,安用重法邪!」自是數年之後,海內昇平,路不拾遺,外戶不閉,商旅野宿焉。上又嘗謂侍臣曰:「君依於國,國依於民。刻民以奉君,猶割肉以充腹,腹飽而身斃,君富而國亡。故人君之患,不自外來,常由身出。夫欲盛則費廣,費廣則賦重,賦重則民愁,民愁則國危,國危則君喪矣。朕常以此思之,故不敢縱欲也。」
