桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 6, 散不足第二十九, Entry 2

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷6·散不足第二十九 · Investing · Health · Leadership · Character

賢良曰:「孔子讀史記,喟然而嘆,傷正德之廢,君臣之危也。夫賢人君子,以天下為任者也。任大者思遠,思遠者忘近。誠心閔悼,惻隱加爾,故忠心獨而無累。此詩人所以傷而作,比干、子胥遺身忘禍也。其惡勞人若斯之急,安能默乎?《詩》云:『憂心如惔,不敢戲談。』孔子棲棲,疾固也。墨子遑遑,閔世也。」

John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 69

John D. Rockefeller《Random Reminiscences of Men and Events》· Chapter III · Leadership

Then, again, we had the type of man who really never knew all the facts about his own affairs. Many of the brightest kept their books in such a way that they did not actually know when they were making money on a certain operation and when they were losing. This unintelligent competition was a hard matter to contend with. Good old-fashioned common sense has always been a mighty rare commodity. When a man's affairs are not going well, he hates to study the books and face the truth. From the first, the men who managed the Standard Oil Company kept their books intelligently as well as correctly. We knew how much we made and where we gained or lost. At least, we tried not to deceive ourselves.
