桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷4·貧富第十七 · Health · Wealth · Investing · Cognition

文學曰:「孔子云:『富而可求,雖執鞭之事,吾亦為之;如不可求,從吾所好。』君子求義,非茍富也。故刺子貢不受命而貨殖焉。君子遭時則富且貴,不遇,退而樂道。不以利累己,故不違義而妄取。隱居修節,不欲妨行,故不毀名而趨勢。雖付之以韓、魏之家,非其志,則不居也。富貴不能榮,謗毀不能傷也。故原憲之缊袍,賢於季孫之狐貉,趙宣孟之魚飧,甘於智伯之芻豢,子思之銀佩,美於虞公之垂棘。魏文侯軾段幹木之閭,非以其有勢也;晉文公見韓慶,下車而趨,非以其多財,以其富於仁,充於德也。故貴何必財,亦仁義而已矣!」
