孟子曰：「子路，人告之以有過則喜。禹聞善言則拜。大舜有大焉，善與人同，舍己從人，樂取於人以為善。自耕稼、陶、漁，以至為帝，無非取於人者。取諸人以為善，是與人為善者也。故君子莫大乎與人為善。」

陳成子弒簡公。孔子沐浴而朝，吿於哀公曰：「陳恆弒其君，請討之。」公曰：「吿夫三子。」孔子曰：「以吾從大夫之後，不敢不吿也！君曰：『吿夫三子』者！」之三子吿，不可。孔子曰：「以吾從大夫之後，不敢不吿也！」

文學曰：「無其能而竊其位，無其功而有其祿，雖有富貴，由跖、蹻之養也。高臺極望，食案方丈，而不可謂孝。老親之腹非盜囊也，何故常盛不道之物？夫取非有非職，財入而患從之，身且死禍殃，安得膢臘而食肉？曾參、閔子無卿相之養，而有孝子之名；周襄王富有天下，而有不能事父母之累。故禮菲而養豐，非孝也。掠囷而以養，非孝也。」

And here I made my first note, and actually got a banker to take it. A proud moment that in a young man's career! The sleeping-cars were a great success and their monthly receipts paid the monthly installments. The first considerable sum I made was from this source. [To-day, July 19, 1909, as I re-read this, how glad I am that I have recently heard from Mr. Lloyd's married daughter telling me of her father's deep affection for me, thus making me very happy, indeed.]

On the facing page, we show our long-standing performance measurement: The yearly change in Berkshire’s per-share book value versus the market performance of the S&P 500. What counts, of course, is per- share intrinsic value. But that’s a subjective figure, and book value is useful as a rough tracking indicator. (An extended discussion of intrinsic value is included in our Owner-Related Business Principles on pages 103 - 108. Those principles have been included in our reports for 30 years, and we urge new and prospective shareholders to read them.)
