孟子《孟子》· 公孫丑上·1 · Leadership · Character · Decision · Philosophy
久則難變也。武丁朝諸侯有天下,猶運之掌也。紂之去武丁未久也,其故家遺俗、流風善政,猶有存者;又有微子、微仲、王子比干、箕子、膠鬲,皆賢人也,相與輔相之,故久而後失之也。尺地莫非其有也,一民莫非其臣也;然而文王猶方百里起,是以難也。齊人有言曰:『雖有智慧,不如乘勢;雖有镃基,不如待時。』今時則易然也。夏后、殷、周之盛,地未有過千里者也,而齊有其地矣;雞鳴狗吠相聞,而達乎四境,而齊有其民矣。地不改辟矣,民不改聚矣,行仁政而王,莫之能御也。且王者之不作,未有疏於此時者也;民之憔悴於虐政,未有甚於此時者也。饑者易為食,渴者易為飲。孔子曰:『德之流行,速於置郵而傳命。』當今之時,萬乘之國行仁政,民之悅之,猶解倒懸也。
