管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第40篇四時 · Leadership · Philosophy · Cognition · Decision

管子曰:令有時,無時則必視順天之所以來。五漫漫,六惛惛,孰知之哉?唯聖人知四時。不知四時,乃失國之基。不知五穀之故,國家乃路。故天曰信明,地曰信聖,四時曰正。其王信明聖,其臣乃正。何以知其王之信明信聖也?曰:慎使能,而善聽信之。使能之謂明,聽信之謂聖。信明聖者,皆受天賞,使不能爲惛。惛而忘也者,皆受天禍。是故上見成事而貴功,則民事接,勞而不謀。上見功而賤,則爲人下者直,爲人上者驕。是故陰陽者,天地之大理也;四時者,陰陽之大徑也;刑德者,四時之合也。刑德合於時則生福,詭則生禍。
