瓦尔登湖·摘录 118 · 亨利·戴维·梭罗

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices. I thought that there was no need of ice to freeze them. They talked to me of the age of the wine and the fame of the vintage; but I thought of an older, a newer, and purer wine, of a more glorious vintage, which they had not got, and could not buy. The style, the house and grounds and “entertainment” pass for nothing with me. I called on the king, but he made me wait in his hall, and conducted like a man incapacitated for hospitality. There was a man in my neighborhood who lived in a hollow tree. His manners were truly regal. I should have done better had I called on him.

白话

比起爱、金钱、名声，我更想要真相。我坐在一张摆满丰盛食物和美酒的桌子旁，有殷勤的侍奉，但没有真诚和真相；我饿着肚子离开那不好客的餐桌。那款待像冰一样冷。我想，不需要冰来冻住他们。他们跟我谈论酒的年份和葡萄园的名声；但我想的是一种更古老、更新鲜、更纯净的酒，一个更辉煌的年份，那是他们没有、也买不到的。风格、宅邸、庭院和“娱乐”在我眼里一文不值。我拜访国王，他却让我在门厅等候，举止像个无力待客的人。我附近有个人住在空心树里，他的举止才真正有王者风范。我去拜访他本会更好。

投资 · 陈梦雷等（编）《钦定古今图书集成·食货典》

天寒催刀尺，機杼可無營。教女學紡纑，舉足疾且輕。舍南與舍北，嘒嘒聞車聲。通都富豪家，華屋貯娉婷。被服雜羅綺，五色相間明。聽說貧家女，惻然當動情。〈九月〉豐年禾黍登，農心稍逸樂。小兒漸長大，終歲荷鋤钁。目不識一字，每念心作惡。東鄰方迎師，收拾令上學。後月日南至，相賀因舊俗。為女裁新衣，修短巧量度。龜手事塞向，庶禦北風虐。人生真可歎，至老長力作。〈十月〉冬至陽來復，草木潛滋萌。君子重其然，吾道自此亨。父母坐堂上，子孫列前榮。再拜稱上壽，所…

十月丰收后农活稍歇，但小儿终年拿锄头却不识字，父亲心里难受，见东邻请老师，也收拾让孩子上学。冬至按旧俗贺节，给女儿裁新衣，用龟手药防冻，堵北窗御寒风。感叹人生到老都得出力。十一月冬至阳气回升，君子重视这个转机，父母堂上坐，子孙拜寿，愿百福齐来。核心是：农忙之余要重视教育，节令习俗要传承，家庭和睦是福。做法是趁闲送孩子读书，按节令备衣御寒，敬老贺节。

事业 · 司馬光《资治通鉴》

閻氏至周，舉朝稱慶，周主為之大赦。凡所資奉，窮極華盛。每四時伏臘，周主帥諸親戚行家人之禮，稱觴上壽。突厥自幽州還，留屯塞北，更集諸部兵，遣使告周，欲與共擊齊如前約。閏月，乙巳，突厥寇齊幽州。

阎氏到达北周，满朝庆贺，北周皇帝为此大赦天下。供给她的物资极尽奢华。每逢四时伏腊，周主亲自率领亲戚行家人之礼，举杯祝寿。突厥从幽州撤回后，留驻塞北，又集结各部兵马，派使者告诉北周，想按先前约定共同攻打北齐。闰月乙巳日，突厥入侵北齐幽州。核心是亲情回归带来的政治喜庆，以及突厥催逼北周履约、边境再起战事。北周以高规格礼遇其母，既安抚权臣，也向内外展示孝道与恩义；但突厥的军事压力使北周面临是否出兵的两难。

事业 · 亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》

I determined absolutely that never would I join a company in which finance came before the work or in which bankers or financiers had a part. And further that, if there were no way to get started in the kind of business…

福特下定决心：绝不加入那种财务凌驾于业务之上、或让银行家、金融家插手的公司；如果找不到办法，按他设想的那种“为公众利益经营”的方式起步，他宁可不开公司。他自己的短暂经验和身边见闻已足够证明：把生意纯粹当赚钱游戏，不值得多费心思，也不是想成事的人该待的地方；而且这似乎也不是赚钱的正道——他还没见过反例。因为真正生意唯一的基础是服务。核心是：先服务、后赚钱，财务不能压过业务。
