以規矩爲方圜則成,以尺寸量短長則得,以法數治民則安。故事不廣於理者,其成若神。故曰:「無廣者疑神。」

孟子:Mencius, 盡心下 31

孟子《孟子》· 盡心下·31 · Health · Human nature · Character · Philosophy

孟子曰:「人皆有所不忍,達之於其所忍,仁也;人皆有所不為,達之於其所為,義也。人能充『無欲害人』之心,而仁不可勝用也。人能充『無穿窬』之心,而義不可勝用也。人能充無受爾汝之實,無所往而不為義也。士未可以言而言,是以言餂之也;可以言而不言,是以不言餂之也。是皆穿逾之類也。」

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷8·伐功第四十五 · Investing · Leadership · History · Decision

大夫曰:「齊桓公越燕伐山戎,破孤竹,殘令支。趙武靈王踰句註,過代谷,略滅林胡、樓煩。燕襲走東胡,辟地千里,度遼東而攻朝鮮。蒙公為秦擊走匈奴,若鷙鳥之追群雀。匈奴勢懾,不敢南面而望十餘年。及其後,蒙公死而諸侯叛秦,中國擾亂,匈奴紛紛,乃敢復為邊寇。夫以小國燕、趙,尚猶卻寇虜以廣地,今以漢國之大,士民之力,非特齊桓之眾,燕、趙之師也;然匈奴久未服者,群臣不幷力,上下未諧故也。」

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 63

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

I received of the general about eight hundred pounds, to be disbursed in advance-money to the waggon owners, etc.; but that sum being insufficient, I advanc'd upward of two hundred pounds more, and in two weeks the one hundred and fifty waggons, with two hundred and fifty-nine carrying horses, were on their march for the camp. The advertisement promised payment according to the valuation, in case any waggon or horse should be lost. The owners, however, alleging they did not know General Braddock, or what dependence might be had on his promise, insisted on my bond for the performance, which I accordingly gave them.
