人言善亦勿聽，人言惡亦勿聽。持而待之，空然勿兩之，淑然自清，無以旁言爲事成。察而徵之無聽辯，萬物歸之，美惡乃自見。天或維之，地或載之。天莫之維則天以墜矣，地莫之載則地以沉矣。夫天不墜，地不沉，夫或維而載之也夫。又況於人，人有治之，辟之若夫靁鼓之動也。夫不能自搖者，夫或之。夫或者何？若然者也。視則不見，聽則不聞，洒乎天下滿，不見其塞。集於顏色，知於肌膚，責其往來，莫知其時。薄乎其方也，韕乎其圜也，韕韕乎莫得其門。故口爲聲也，耳爲聽也，目有視也，手有指也，足有履也，事物有所比也。當生者生，當死者死，言有西有東，各死其鄉。

第38篇白心·第3则

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

庚辰往虔州再見先生。 問：「近來功夫，雖若稍知頭腦，然難尋個穩當快樂處。」 先生曰：「爾卻去心上尋個天理，此正所謂理障。此間有個訣竅。」 曰：「請問如何？」 曰：「只是致知。」 曰：「如何致？」 曰：「爾那一點良知，是爾自家底準則。爾意念著處，他是便知是，非便知非，更瞞他一些不得。爾只不要欺他，實實落落依著他做去；善便存，惡便去。他這裏何等穩當快樂？此便是『格物』的真訣，『致知』的實功。若不靠著這些真機，如何去格物？我亦近年體貼出來如此分明。初猶疑只依他恐有不足；精細看，無些小欠闕。」

以冬日至始，數九十二日，謂之春至。天子東出其國九十二里而壇，朝諸侯卿大夫列士，循於百姓，號曰祭星。十日之內，室無處女，路無行人。苟不樹藝者，謂之賊人。下作之地，上作之天，謂之不服之民。處里爲下陳，處師爲下通，謂之役夫。三不樹而主使之。天子之春令也。

第85篇輕重己·第3则

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

It is particularly easy for any man who never knows it all to go forward to a higher position with us. Some men will work hard but they do not possess the capacity to think and especially to think quickly. Such men get as far as their ability deserves. A man may, by his industry, deserve advancement, but it cannot be possibly given him unless he also has a certain element of leadership. This is not a dream world we are living in. I think that every man in the shaking-down process of our factory eventually lands about where he belongs.

Chapter VI, excerpt 64

Our little wooden shop had, with the business we were doing, become totally inadequate, and in 1906 we took out of our working capital sufficient funds to build a three-story plant at the corner of Piquette and Beaubien streets--which for the first time gave us real manufacturing facilities. We began to make and to assemble quite a number of the parts, although still we were principally an assembling shop. In 1905-1906 we made only two models--one the four-cylinder car at $2,000 and another touring car at $1,000, both being the models of the previous year--and our sales dropped to 1,599 cars.
