利潤は士の禄に同じ
A profit is the same to a stipend to a smaurai.

石田梅岩は、「商いは、卑劣な行為ではない。商人が利潤を得ることは、武士が俸禄をもらうことと本質的には何も変わらない」と言っています。
Ishida Baigan said, "Running a sales business is not a mean one. Merchants' getting profits is essentially never different from the samurai's getting their stipends.
この教えの根底にあるのは、卑劣な振る舞い、不正な振る舞いで利益を求めてはいけないということです。
What lies on the basis of this thought is that you should not behave in a dirty way, and also you should not get profits by doing illegal things.

（稲盛和夫一日一言から）
