安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I was thus enabled to laugh away the fears of my partners, but none of them rejoiced more than I did that the necessity for opening our lips to anybody about our finances did not arise. Mr. Coleman, good friend and true, with plentiful means and splendid credit, did not fail to volunteer to give us his endorsements. In this we stood alone; William Coleman's name, a tower of strength, was for us only. How the grand old man comes before me as I write. His patriotism knew no bounds. Once when visiting his mills, stopped for the Fourth of July, as they always were, he found a corps of men at work repairing the boilers. He called the manager to him and asked what this meant. He ordered all work suspended.

白话
卡内基因此能笑着打消合伙人的恐惧，但没人比他更庆幸不必向任何人开口谈财务。好友科尔曼先生财力雄厚、信用极佳，主动提出为他们担保。在这方面他们独一无二；威廉·科尔曼的名字就是力量，只为他们所用。写作时，这位老前辈的形象浮现眼前。他的爱国心没有边界。有一次他参观工厂，正值7月4日独立日停工，却发现一队人在修锅炉。他叫来经理问怎么回事，然后下令全部停工。
上下文
卡内基自传中回忆危机时朋友威廉·科尔曼的慷慨支持，以及科尔曼坚持国庆日停工的故事。
