生财有大道。生之者众,食之者寡,为之者疾,用之者舒,则财恒足矣!· There is a great course for the production of wealth. Let the producers be many and the consumers few. Let there be activity in the production,and economy in the expenditure.Then the wealth will always be sufficient.
(The Book of Rites [of the Warring States Period])
