华莱士·沃特尔斯《致富的科学》· The Science of Getting Rich · 投资

Moral and spiritual greatness is possible only to those who are above the competitive battle for existence; and only those who are becoming rich on the plane of creative thought are free from the degrading influences of competition. If your heart is set on domestic happiness, remember that love flourishes best where there is refinement, a high level of thought, and freedom from corrupting influences; and these are to be found only where riches are attained by the exercise of creative thought, without strife or rivalry.

白话

道德和精神上的伟大,只有那些已经跳出生存竞争的人才谈得上;也只有靠创造性思维逐渐富起来的人,才不受竞争那种使人堕落的影响。如果你看重家庭幸福,要记住:爱在生活有品位、思想层次高、远离腐蚀性环境的地方才长得最好,而这些条件只有在靠创造而非争斗获得财富的地方才找得到。背后的取舍是:贫穷和激烈争夺会消耗人的心力,让人顾不上修养和温情;先让自己站稳,才有余裕经营关系和品格。所以致富不是俗事,而是给爱和成长腾地方。
