The ideas of economists and political philosophers， both when they are right and when they are wrong， are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men， who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence， are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.

La literatura no sirve para nada, y por eso es imprescindible.

Work lovingly done is the secret of all life and all art.

——1905年8月13日在东京中国留学生欢迎大会上的演说

夢は、諦めなければ、必ず叶う。
