"Caring too much for objects can destroy you. Only—if you care for a thing enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn’t it? And isn’t the whole point of things—beautiful things—that they connect you to some larger beauty?"

I always say you could publish my trading rules in the newspaper and no one would follow them. The key is consistency and discipline.

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.

The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create.

译文：一心想求取科举功名的人，不一定能体会到琴棋书画的乐趣；追求生命境界的人，不能没有经世济民的才能。赏析：读书或做事，我们不能总是带着功利性极强的目的去。目的越强，中间的乐趣无法体会，其结果往往事与愿违。如果我们抱着一颗平常心，往往会有意想不到的收获。那些道德品质高尚的人大多博学有才，他们用自身的言行去改变周围的人，去改变这个社会。

我不习惯安逸。我只在不舒服的时候才感到舒服。

晏子春秋

文学是耐心的艺术，无论对写的人还是读的人都是如此。
