子曰：「君子不重則不威，學則不固。主忠信，無友不如己者，過則勿憚改。」

先進第十一·十一之二十

諺曰：「百里不販樵，千里不販糴。」居之一歲，種之以穀；十歲，樹之以木；百歲，來之以德。德者，人物之謂也。今有無秩祿之奉，爵邑之入，而樂與之比者。命曰「素封」。封者食租稅，歲率戶二百。千戶之君則二十萬，朝覲聘享出其中。庶民農工商賈，率亦歲萬息二千，百萬之家則二十萬，而更傜租賦出其中。衣食之欲，恣所好美矣。故曰陸地牧馬二百蹄，牛蹄角千，千足羊，澤中千足彘，水居千石魚陂，山居千章之材。安邑千樹棗；燕、秦千樹栗；蜀、漢、江陵千樹橘；淮北、常山已南，河濟之閒千樹萩；陳、夏千畝漆；齊、魯千畝桑麻；渭川千畝竹；及名國萬家之城，帶郭千畝畝鐘之田，若千畝卮茜，千畦薑韭：此其人皆與千戶侯等。然是富給之資也，不窺市井，不行異邑，坐而待收，身有處士之義而取給焉。若至家貧親老，妻子軟弱，歲時無以祭祀進醵，飲食被服不足以自通，如此不慚恥，則無所比矣。是以無財作力，少有鬬智，既饒爭時，此其大經也。今治生不待危身取給，則賢人勉焉。是故本富為上，末富次之，姦富最下。無巖處奇士之行，而長貧賤，好語仁義，亦足羞也。

丙子，薛延陀毘伽可汗遣其弟統特勒入貢，上賜以寶刀及寶鞭，謂曰：「卿所部有大罪者斬之，小罪者鞭之。」夷男甚喜。突厥頡利可汗大懼，始遣使稱臣，請尚公主，修婿禮。

卷193·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝上之中貞觀三年（己丑、公元六二九年）·第11则

There was too much hard hand labour on our own and all other farms of the time. Even when very young I suspected that much might somehow be done in a better way. That is what took me into mechanics--although my mother always said that I was born a mechanic. I had a kind of workshop with odds and ends of metal for tools before I had anything else. In those days we did not have the toys of to-day; what we had were home made. My toys were all tools--they still are! And every fragment of machinery was a treasure.
