司馬光:Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 194, Entry 17

司馬光《資治通鑑》· 卷194·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝上之下貞觀九年(乙未,公元六三五年) · Leadership · Health · Decision · Action

岷州都督、鹽澤道行軍總管高甑生後軍期,李靖按之。甑生恨靖,誣告靖謀反,按驗無狀。八月,庚辰,甑生坐減死徙邊。或言:「甑生,秦府功臣,寬其罪。」上曰:「甑生違李靖節度,又誣其反,此而可寬,法將安施!且國家自起晉陽,功臣多矣,若甑生獲免,則人人犯法,安可復禁乎!我於舊勳,未嘗忘也,為此不敢赦耳。」李靖自是闔門杜絕賓客,雖親戚不得妄見也。

桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 6, 散不足第二十九, Entry 38

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

「宮室奢侈,林木之蠹也。器械雕琢,財用之蠹也。衣服靡麗,布帛之蠹也。狗馬食人之食,五穀之蠹也。口腹從恣,魚肉之蠹也。用費不節,府庫之蠹也。漏積不禁,田野之蠹也。喪祭無度,傷生之蠹也。墮成變故傷功,工商上通傷農。故一杯棬用百人之力,一屏風就萬人之功,其為害亦多矣!目修於五色,耳營於五音,體極輕薄,口極甘脆,功積於無用,財盡於不急,口腹不可為多。故國病聚不足即政怠,人病聚不足則身危。」

孟子曰:「伯夷辟紂,居北海之濱,聞文王作興,曰:『盍歸乎來!吾聞西伯善養老者。』太公辟紂,居東海之濱,聞文王作興,曰:『盍歸乎來!吾聞西伯善養老者。』二老者,天下之大老也而歸之,是天下之父歸之也。天下之父歸之,其子焉往?諸侯有行文王之政者,七年之内,必爲政於天下矣。」

Andrew Carnegie:Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie, Excerpt 6

Andrew Carnegie《Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie》· Chapter I · Leadership

In the performance of these duties I was often late for school, but the master, knowing the cause, forgave the lapses. In the same connection I may mention that I had often the shop errands to run after school, so that in looking back upon my life I have the satisfaction of feeling that I became useful to my parents even at the early age of ten. Soon after that the accounts of the various people who dealt with the shop were entrusted to my keeping so that I became acquainted, in a small way, with business affairs even in childhood.
