班固:Book of Han, Food and Money, 上 食, Entry 6

班固《漢書》· 上 食 · Investing · Leadership · Character · Growth

其詩曰:「有渰淒淒,興雲祁祁,雨我公田,遂及我私。」民三年耕,則餘一年之畜。衣食足而知榮辱,廉讓生而爭訟息,故三載考績。孔子曰「苟有用我者,期月而已可也,三年有成」,成此功也。三考黜陟,餘三年食,進業曰登;再登曰平,餘六年食;三登曰泰平,二十七歲,遺九年食。然後鲈德流洽,禮樂成焉。故曰「如有王者,必世而後仁」,繇此道也。 周室既衰,暴君污吏慢其經界,繇役橫作,政令不信,上下相詐,公田不治。故魯宣公「初稅畝」,春秋譏焉。於是上貪民怨,災害生而禍亂作。 陵夷至於戰國,貴詐力而賤仁誼,先富有而後禮讓。

王阳明:Chuanxilu, 卷下 324

王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷下·第324条 · Health · Cognition · Philosophy · Learning

以方問「尊德性」一條。 先生曰:「『道問學』即所以『尊德性』也。晦翁言子靜以『尊德性』誨人,某教人豈不是『道問學』處多了些子?是分『尊德性』、『道問學』作兩件,且如今講習討論下許多工夫,無非只是存此心,不失其德性而已。豈有『尊德性』只空空去尊,更不去問學?問學只是空空去問學,更與德性無關涉?如此,則不知今之所以講習討論者,更學何事?」 問「致廣大」二句。 曰:「『盡精微』即所以『致廣大』也,『道中庸』即所以『極高明』也。蓋心之本體自是廣大底,人不能『盡精微』,則便為私欲所蔽,有不勝其小者矣。故能細微曲折,無所不盡,則私意不足以蔽之,自無許多障礙遮隔處,如何廣大不致?」 又問:「精微還是念慮之精微?是事理之精微?」 曰:「念慮之精微,即事理之精微也。」

管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第84篇輕重戊, Entry 4

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第84篇輕重戊 · Leadership · Wealth · Investing · Cognition

桓公問於管子曰:「萊、莒與柴田相并,爲之奈何?」管子對曰:「萊、莒之山生柴。君其率白徒之卒,鑄莊山之金以爲幣,重萊之柴賈。」萊君聞之,告左右曰:「金幣者,人之所重也。柴者,吾國之奇出也。以吾國之奇出,盡齊之重寶,則齊可并也。」萊即釋其耕農而治柴。管子即令隰朋反農。二年,桓公止柴,萊、莒之糴三百七十,齊糶十錢,萊、莒之民降齊者十分之七。二十八月,萊、莒之君請服。

John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 6

John D. Rockefeller《Random Reminiscences of Men and Events》· Chapter I · Leadership

Speaking of Mr. Archbold leads me to say again that I have received much more credit than I deserve in connection with the Standard Oil Company. It was my good fortune to help to bring together the efficient men who are the controlling forces of the organization and to work hand in hand with them for many years, but it is they who have done the hard tasks.
