子貢曰：「有美玉於斯，韞櫝而藏諸？求善賈而沽諸？」子曰：「沽之哉！沽之哉！我待賈者也！」

子罕第九·九之十三

一友靜坐有見，馳問先生。 答曰：「吾昔居滁時：見諸生多務知解口耳異同，無益於得；姑教之靜坐。一時窺見光景，頗收近效。久之漸有喜靜厭動、流入枯槁之病；或務為玄解妙覺，動人聽聞。故邇來只說『致良知』。良知明白，隨你去靜處體悟也好，隨你去事上磨鍊也好，良知本體原是無動無靜的。此便是學問頭腦。我這個話頭，自滁州到今，亦較過幾番，只是『致良知』三字無病。醫經折肱，方能察人病理。」

卷下·第262条

The canton of Berne derives a considerable revenue by lending a part of its treasure to foreign states, that is, by placing it in the public funds of the different indebted nations of Europe, chiefly in those of France and England. The security of this revenue must depend, first, upon the security of the funds in which it is placed, or upon the good faith of the government which has the management of them; and, secondly, upon the certainty or probability of the continuance of peace with the debtor nation. In the case of a war, the very first act of hostility on the part of the debtor nation might be the forfeiture of the funds of its credit. This policy of lending money to foreign states is, so far as I know peculiar to the canton of Berne.

Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.
