孔子及其弟子:Analects 12.22

孔子及其弟子《論語》· 顏淵第十二·十二之二二 · Health · Cognition · Philosophy · Learning

樊遲問「仁」。子曰:「愛人。」問「知」。子曰:「知人。」樊遲未達,子曰:「擧直錯諸枉,能使枉者直。」樊遲退,見子夏曰:「鄉也吾見於夫子而問『知』,子曰:『擧直錯諸枉,能使枉者直』,何謂也?」子夏曰:「富哉言乎!舜有天下,選於眾,擧皋陶,不仁者遠矣。湯有天下,選於眾,擧伊尹,不仁者遠矣。」

桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 10, 刑德第五十五, Entry 3

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷10·刑德第五十五 · Investing · Leadership · Health · Cognition

大夫曰:「文學言王者立法,曠若大路。今馳道不小也,而民公犯之,以其罰罪之輕也。千仞之高,人不輕淩,千鈞之重,人不輕舉。商君刑棄灰於道,而秦民治。故盜馬者死,盜牛者加,所以重本而絕輕疾之資也。武兵名食,所以佐邊而重武備也。盜傷與殺同罪,所以累其心而責其意也。猶魯以楚師伐齊,而春秋惡之。故輕之為重,淺之為深,有緣而然。法之微者,固非眾人之所知也。」

管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第11篇宙合, Entry 10

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第11篇宙合 · Cognition · Health · Leadership · Human nature

「讂充」言心也,心欲忠。「末衡」言耳目也,耳目欲端。中正者,治之本也。耳司聽,聽必順聞,聞審謂之聰。目司視,視必順見。見察謂之明。心司慮,慮必順言,言得謂之知。聰明以知則博,博而不惛,所以易政也。政易民利,利乃勸,勸則告。聽不慎不審不聰,不審不聰則繆。視不察不明,不察不明則過。慮不得不知,不得不知則昏。繆過以惛則憂,憂則所以伎苛,伎苛所以險政。政險民害,害乃怨,怨則凶,故曰:「讂充末衡。」言「易政利民」也。

Andrew Carnegie:Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie, Excerpt 17

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

The great event of the day in Pittsburgh at that time was the arrival and departure of the steam packet to and from Cincinnati, for daily communication had been established. The business of the city was largely that of forwarding merchandise East and West, for it was the great transfer station from river to canal. A rolling mill had begun to roll iron; but not a ton of pig metal was made, and not a ton of steel for many a year thereafter. The pig iron manufacture at first was a total failure because of the lack of proper fuel, although the most valuable deposit of coking coal in the world lay within a few miles, as much undreamt of for coke to smelt ironstone as the stores of natural gas which had for ages lain untouched under the city.
