老子:Dao De Jing, Chapter 27

老子《道德經》· 二十七章 · Health · Cognition · Human nature · Decision

善行無轍迹, 善言無瑕讁; 善數不用籌策; 善閉無關楗而不可開,善結無繩約而不可解。 是以聖人常善救人,故無棄人; 常善救物,故無棄物,是謂襲明。故善人者,不善人之師; 不善人者,善人之資。 不貴其師,不愛其資,雖智大迷, 是謂要妙。

丞相曰:「先王之道,軼久而難復,賢良、文學之言,深遠而難行。夫稱上聖之高行,道至德之美言,非當世之所能及也。願聞方今之急務,可復行於政:使百姓咸足於衣食,無乏困之憂;風雨時,五穀熟,螟螣不生;天下安樂,盜賊不起;流人還歸,各反其田里;吏皆廉正,敬以奉職,元元各得其理也。」

壤土之次曰五浮。五浮之狀,捍然如米以葆澤,不離不坼。其種忍蘟,忍葉如雚,葉以長狐茸,黃莖黑莖黑秀,其粟大,無不宜也。蓄殖果木,不如三土以十分之二。

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 46

Benjamin Franklin《The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin》· The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin · Leadership

I mention this affair chiefly for the sake of recommending that branch of education for our young females, as likely to be of more use to them and their children, in case of widowhood, than either music or dancing, by preserving them from losses by imposition of crafty men, and enabling them to continue, perhaps, a profitable mercantile house, with establish'd correspondence, till a son is grown up fit to undertake and go on with it, to the lasting advantage and enriching of the family.
