王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷上·第126条 · Philosophy · Health · Cognition · Learning

蕭惠問死生之道。 先生曰:「知晝夜,即知死生。」 問晝夜之道。 曰:「知晝則知夜。」 曰:「晝亦有所不知乎?」 先生曰:「汝能知晝?懵懵而興,蠢蠢而食,行不著,習不察,終日昏昏,只是夢晝。惟息有養,瞬有存,此心惺惺明明,天理無一息間斷,才是能知晝。這便是天德,便是通乎晝夜之道而知,更有甚麼死生?」

管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第75篇山權數, Entry 1

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第75篇山權數 · Philosophy · Leadership · Wealth · Investing

桓公問管子曰:「請問權數。」管子對曰:「天以時爲權,地以財爲權,人以力爲權,君以令爲權。失天之權,則人地之權亡。」桓公曰:「何爲失天之權則人地之權亡?」管子對曰:「湯七年旱,禹五年水,民之無𥼷賣子者。湯以莊山之金鑄幣,而贖民之無𥼷賣子者。禹以歷山之金鑄幣,而贖民之無𥼷賣子者。故天權失,人地之權皆失也。故王者歲守十分之參,三年與少半成歲。三十一年而藏十一年,與少半藏參之,一不足以傷民,而農夫敬事力作,故天毀埊凶旱水泆,民無入於溝壑乞請者也。此守時以待天權之道也。」

John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 23

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

This ore trade was of great and absorbing interest at Cleveland. My old employer was paid $4 a ton for carrying ore from the Marquette regions fifty years ago, and to think of the wickedness of this maker of woodland paths, who in later years was moving the ore in great ships for eighty cents a ton and making a fortune at it.
