唐詡問：「立志是常存個善念，要為善去惡否？」 曰：「善念存時，即是天理。此念即善，更思何善？此念非惡，更去何惡？此念如樹之根芽，立志者，長立此善念而已。『從心所欲不踰矩』，只是志到熟處。」

卷上·第53条

知其雄，守其雌，為天下谿。為天下谿，常德不離，復歸於嬰兒。 知其白，守其黑，為天下式。 為天下式，常德不忒， 復歸於無極。 知其榮，守其辱，為天下谷，常德乃足，復歸於樸。 樸散則為器，聖人用之，則為官長， 故大制不割。

王弼本·二十八章

天下乘馬服牛，而任之輕重有制。有壹宿之行，道之遠近有數矣。是知諸侯之地，千乘之國者，所以知地之小大也，所以知任之輕重也。重而後損之，是不知任也；輕而後益之，是不知器也。不知任，不知器，不可謂之有道。

第05篇乘馬·第14则

There is plenty of work to do. Business is merely work. Speculation in things already produced--that is not business. It is just more or less respectable graft. But it cannot be legislated out of existence. Laws can do very little. Law never does anything constructive. It can never be more than a policeman, and so it is a waste of time to look to our state capitals or to Washington to do that which law was not designed to do. As long as we look to legislation to cure poverty or to abolish special privilege we are going to see poverty spread and special privilege grow. We have had enough of looking to Washington and we have had enough of legislators--not so much, however, in this as in other countries--promising laws to do that which laws cannot do.

My pamphlet by some means falling into the hands of one Lyons, a surgeon, author of a book entitled "The Infallibility of Human Judgment," it occasioned an acquaintance between us. He took great notice of me, called on me often to converse on those subjects, carried me to the Horns, a pale alehouse in ------ Lane, Cheapside, and introduced me to Dr. Mandeville, author of the "Fable of the Bees," who had a club there, of which he was the soul, being a most facetious, entertaining companion. Lyons, too, introduced me to Dr. Pemberton, at Batson's Coffee-house, who promis'd to give me an opportunity, some time or other, of seeing Sir Isaac Newton, of which I was extreamely desirous; but this never happened.
