晴空朗月、何天不可翺翔、而飛蛾獨投夜燭。 清泉綠卉、何物不可飲啄、而鴟鴞偏嗜腐鼠。 噫、世之不為飛蛾鴟鴞、幾何人哉。

Warren Buffett:Berkshire 1996 Letter, Excerpt 1

Warren Buffett《Berkshire Hathaway 1996 Letter to Shareholders》· 1996 Chairman's Letter · Investing

Our gain in net worth during 1996 was $6.2 billion, or 36.1%. Per- share book value, however, grew by less, 31.8%, because the number of Berkshire shares increased: We issued stock in acquiring FlightSafety International and also sold new Class B shares.* Over the last 32 years (that is, since present management took over) per-share book value has grown from $19 to $19,011, or at a rate of 23.8% compounded annually.

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 2

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

Thomas was bred a smith under his father; but, being ingenious, and encouraged in learning (as all my brothers were) by an Esquire Palmer, then the principal gentleman in that parish, he qualified himself for the business of scrivener; became a considerable man in the county; was a chief mover of all public-spirited undertakings for the county or town of Northampton, and his own village, of which many instances were related of him; and much taken notice of and patronized by the then Lord Halifax. He died in 1702, January 6, old style, just four years to a day before I was born. The account we received of his life and character from some old people at Ecton, I remember, struck you as something extraordinary, from its similarity to what you knew of mine. "Had he died on the same day," you said, "one might have supposed a transmigration."
