孟子《孟子》· 梁惠王下·8 · Cognition · Character · Leadership · Philosophy

齊宣王問曰:「湯放桀,武王伐紂,有諸?」 孟子對曰:「於傳有之。」 曰:「臣弒其君可乎?」 曰:「賊仁者謂之『賊』,賊義者謂之『殘』。殘賊之人謂之『一夫』。聞誅一夫紂矣,未聞弒君也。」

王阳明:Chuanxilu, 卷上 77

王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷上·第77条 · Health · Cognition · Learning · Philosophy

問:「『顏子沒而聖學亡』,此語不能無疑。」 先生曰:「見聖道之全者惟顏子。觀『喟然一嘆』可見。其謂『夫子循循然善誘人,博我以文,約我以禮』,是見破後如此說。博文、約禮如何是善誘人?學者須思之。道之全體,聖人亦難以語人,須是學者自修自悟。顏子『雖欲從之,末由也已』,即文王『望道未見』意。望道未見,乃是真見。顏子沒,而聖學之正派遂不盡傳矣。」

John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 64

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

The great business interests will, I hope, so comport themselves that foreign capital will consider it a desirable thing to hold shares in American companies. It is for Americans to see that foreign investors are well and honestly treated, so that they will never regret purchases of our securities.
