The past is never really past; it lingers in the corners of our lives.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

The artist must be a shadow of the divine.

追求知识是一场没有终点的旅程，每一次发现都为新的奥秘打开了大门。

——〈临时大总统誓词〉，1912年1月1日
