孟子:Mencius, 盡心下 25

孟子《孟子》· 盡心下·25 · Health · Human nature · Cognition · Learning

浩生不害問曰:「樂正子,何人也?」 孟子曰:「善人也,信人也。」 「何謂善?何謂信?」 曰:「可欲之謂善。有諸己之謂信。充實之謂美。充實而有光輝之謂大。大而化之之謂聖。聖而不可知之之謂神。樂正子,二之中、四之下也。」

管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第64篇形勢解, Entry 34

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第64篇形勢解 · Human nature · Health · Decision · Philosophy

聖人擇可言而後言,擇可行而後行。偷得利而後有害,偷得樂而後有憂者,聖人不爲也。故聖人擇言必顧其累,擇行必顧其憂。故曰:「顧憂者可與致道。」

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第05篇乘馬 · Wealth · Investing · Philosophy · Health

方六里,一乘之地也。方一里,九夫之田也。黃金一鎰,百乘一宿之盡也。無金則用其絹,季絹三十三,制當一鎰。無絹則用其布,經暴布百兩當一鎰。一鎰之金,食百乘之一宿,則所市之地六步一㪷,命之曰中歲,有市、無市則民不乏矣。方六里名之曰社,有邑焉,名之曰央,亦關市之賦。黃金百鎰爲一篋,其貨一穀籠爲十篋。其商苟在市者三十人,其正月、十二月黃金一鎰,命之曰正分。春曰書比,立夏曰月程,秋曰大稽,與民數得亡。三歲脩封,五歲脩界,十歲更制,經正也。

王阳明:Chuanxilu, 卷下 312

王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷下·第312条 · Leadership · Cognition · Learning · Decision

薛尚謙、鄒謙之、馬子萃、王汝止待坐,因嘆先生自征寧藩已來,天下謗議益眾,請各言其故。有言先生功業勢位日隆,天下忌之者日眾;有言先生之學日明,故為宋儒爭是非者亦日博;有言先生自南都以後,同志信從者日眾,而四方排阻者日益力。 先生曰:「諸君之言,信皆有之,但吾一段自知處,諸君俱未道及耳。」 諸友請問。 先生曰:「我在南都已前,尚有些子鄉愿的意思在;我今信得這良知真是真非,信手行去,更不著些覆藏;我今纔做得個狂者的胸次,使天下之人都說我行不揜言也罷。」 尚謙出曰:「信得此過,方是聖人的真血脈。」

John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 47

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

One can hardly realize how difficult it was to get capital for active business enterprises at that time. In the country farther west much higher rates were paid, which applied usually to personal loans on which a business risk was run, but it shows how different the conditions for young business men were then than now.
