桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 5, 殊路第二十一, Entry 1

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷5·殊路第二十一 · Investing · Action · Leadership · Health

大夫曰:「七十子躬受聖人之術,有名列於孔子之門,皆諸侯卿相之才,可南面者數人云。政事者冉有、季路,言語宰我、子貢。宰我秉事,有寵於齊,田常作難,道不行,身死庭中,簡公殺於檀臺。子路仕衛,孔悝作亂,不能救君出亡,身菹於衛;子貢、子臯遁逃,不能死其難。食人之重祿不能更,處人尊官不能存,何其厚於己而薄於君哉?同門共業,自以為知古今之義,明君臣之禮。或死或亡,二三子殊路,何道之悖也!」

孟子:Mencius, 離婁上 7

孟子《孟子》· 離婁上·7 · Philosophy · Leadership · Character · Health

孟子曰:「天下有道,小德役大德,小賢役大賢。天下無道,小役大,弱役強,斯二者,天也。順天者存,逆天者亡。齊景公曰:『既不能令,又不受命,是絶物也。』涕出而女於呉。今也小國師大國,而恥受命焉,是猶弟子而恥受命於先師也。如恥之,莫若師文王,師文王,大國五年,小國七年,必爲政於天下矣。《詩》云:『商之孫子,其麗不億。上帝既命,侯于周服。侯服于周,天命靡常。殷士膚敏,祼將于京。』孔子曰:『仁不可爲衆也夫!國君好仁,天下無敵。』今也欲無敵於天下,而不以仁,是猶執熱而不以濯也。《詩》云:『誰能執熱,逝不以濯?』」

Andrew Carnegie:Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie, Excerpt 77

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

Capital no longer hesitated to embark in manufacturing, confident as it was that the nation would protect it as long as necessary. Years after the war, demands for a reduction of the tariff arose and it was my lot to be drawn into the controversy. It was often charged that bribery of Congressmen by manufacturers was common. So far as I know there was no foundation for this. Certainly the manufacturers never raised any sums beyond those needed to maintain the Iron and Steel Association, a matter of a few thousand dollars per year. They did, however, subscribe freely to a campaign when the issue was Protection _versus_ Free Trade.
