大夫曰:「賢者處大林,遭風雷而不迷。愚者雖處平敞大路,猶暗惑焉。今守、相親剖符贊拜,蒞一郡之眾,古方伯之位也。受命專制,宰割千里,不禦於內;善惡在於己,己不能故耳,道何狹之有哉?」

管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第08篇幼官, Entry 3

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第08篇幼官 · Leadership · Philosophy · Health · Action

夏行春政風,行冬政落,重則雨雹,行秋政水。十二小郢,至德。十二絕氣下,下爵賞。十二中郢,賜與。十二中絕,收聚。十二大暑至,盡善。十二中暑,十二大暑終,三暑同事。七舉時節,君服赤色,味苦味,聽羽聲,治陽氣,用七數,飲於赤后之井,以毛獸之火爨。藏薄純,行篤厚,坦氣修通。凡物開靜,形生理,定府官,明名分,而審責於羣臣有司,則下不乘上,賤不乘貴。法立數得,而無比周之民,則上尊而下卑,遠近不乖。此居於圖南方方外。

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 33

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

But now another difficulty came upon me which I had never the least reason to expect. Mr. Meredith's father, who was to have paid for our printing-house, according to the expectations given me, was able to advance only one hundred pounds currency, which had been paid; and a hundred more was due to the merchant, who grew impatient, and su'd us all. We gave bail, but saw that, if the money could not be rais'd in time, the suit must soon come to a judgment and execution, and our hopeful prospects must, with us, be ruined, as the press and letters must be sold for payment, perhaps at half price.
