春者陽氣始上，故萬物生。夏者陽氣畢上，故萬物長。秋者陰氣始下，故萬物收。冬者陰氣畢下，故萬物藏。故春夏生長，秋冬收藏，四時之節也。賞賜刑罰，主之節也。四時未嘗不生殺也，主未嘗不賞罰也。故曰：「春秋冬夏，不更其節也。」

第64篇形勢解·第5则

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

來書云：「聞語學者，乃謂『即物窮理』之說亦是玩物喪志，又取其『厭繁就約』、『涵養本原』數說標示學者，指為晚年定論，此亦恐非。」 朱子所謂「格物」云者，在「即物而窮其理」也。即物窮理是就事事物物上求其所謂定理者也，是以吾心而求理於事事物物之中，析心與理為二矣。夫求理於事事物物者，如求孝之理於其親之謂也。求孝之理於其親，則孝之理其果在於吾之心邪？抑果在於親之身邪？假而果在於親之身，則親沒之後，吾心遂無孝之理歟？見孺子之入井，必有惻隱之理，是惻隱之理果在於孺子之身歟？抑在於吾心之良知歟？其或不可以從之於井歟？其或可以手而援之歟？是皆所謂理也，是果在於孺子之身歟？抑果出於吾心之良知歟？以是例之，萬事萬物之理莫不皆然，是可以知析心與理為二之非矣。 夫析心與理而為二，此告子義外之說，孟子之所深闢也。「務外遺內，博而寡要」，吾子既已知之矣，是果何謂而然哉？謂之玩物喪志，尚猶以為不可歟？若鄙人所謂「致知、格物」者，致吾心之良知於事事物物也。吾心之良知，即所謂「天理」也。致吾心良知之「天理」於事事物物，則事事物物皆得其理矣。致吾心之良知者，致知也；事事物物皆得其理者，格物也，是合心與理而為一者也。合心與理而為一，則凡區區前之所云，與朱子晚年之論，皆可以不言而喻矣。

They are so accordingly. The difference between the earnings of a common labourer and those of a well employed lawyer or physician, is evidently much greater than that between the ordinary profits in any two different branches of trade. The apparent difference, besides, in the profits of different trades, is generally a deception arising from our not always distinguishing what ought to be considered as wages, from what ought to be considered as profit.

卷199·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝下之下貞觀二十二年（戊申，公元六四八年）·第31则

In this way I became acquainted with the world that lay behind the green curtain. The plays, generally, were of the spectacular order; without much literary merit, but well calculated to dazzle the eye of a youth of fifteen. Not only had I never seen anything so grand, but I had never seen anything of the kind. I had never been in a theater, or even a concert room, or seen any form of public amusement. It was much the same with "Davy" McCargo, "Harry" Oliver, and "Bob" Pitcairn. We all fell under the fascination of the footlights, and every opportunity to attend the theater was eagerly embraced.
