丙午,至營州。詔遼東戰亡士卒骸骨並集柳城東南,命有司設太牢,上自作文以祭之,臨哭盡哀。其父母聞之,曰:「吾兒死而天子哭之,死何所恨!」上謂薛仁貴曰:「朕諸將皆老,思得新進驍勇者將之,無如卿者;朕不喜得遼東,喜得卿也。」

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷2·非鞅第七 · Leadership · Wealth · Investing · Cognition

大夫曰:「淑好之人,戚施之所妒也;賢知之士,阘茸之所惡也。是以上官大夫短屈原於頃襄,公伯寮愬子路於季孫。夫商君起布衣,自魏入秦,期年而相之,革法明教,而秦人大治。故兵動而地割,兵休而國富。孝公大說,封之於、商之地方五百里,功如丘山,名傳後世。世人不能為,是以相與嫉其能而疵其功也。」

王阳明:Chuanxilu, 卷下 230

王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷下·第230条 · Learning · Leadership · Cognition · Character

問:「《修道說》言『率性之謂道』,屬聖人分上事;『修道之謂教』,屬賢人分上事。」 先生日:「眾人亦率性也,但率性在聖人分上較多,故『率性之謂道』屬聖人事;聖人亦修道也,但修道在賢人分上多,故『修道之謂教』屬賢人事。」又曰:「《中庸》一書,大抵皆是說修道的事。故後面凡說君子,說顏淵,說子路,皆是能修道的;說小人,說賢知、愚不肖,說庶民,皆是不能修道的;其他言舜、文、周公、仲尼至誠至聖之類,則又聖人之自能修道者也。」

Andrew Carnegie:Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie, Excerpt 79

Andrew Carnegie《Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie》· Chapter XI · Leadership

I was surprised to find how very different was the state of affairs in New York. There were few even of the business men who had not their ventures in Wall Street to a greater or less extent. I was besieged with inquiries from all quarters in regard to the various railway enterprises with which I was connected. Offers were made to me by persons who were willing to furnish capital for investment and allow me to manage it--the supposition being that from the inside view which I was enabled to obtain I could invest for them successfully. Invitations were extended to me to join parties who intended quietly to buy up the control of certain properties. In fact the whole speculative field was laid out before me in its most seductive guise.
