The stories we don’t tell are the ones that haunt us the most.

The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live multiple lives, to experience different worlds, to feel the emotions of others.

幸福不在于我们拥有多少，而在于我们享受多少。

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

The best leaders are those most interested in surrounding themselves with assistants and associates smarter than they are.

当我们选择去爱的时刻，我们就开始反抗支配和压迫。当我们选择去爱的时刻，我们就开始走向自由，以解放自己和他人。

追求声名的人必然会危害其自身，广积财富的人必然会给后代带来灾祸。行善作恶迟迟得不到报应，并不是上天疏忽大意，而是上天想成全君子而灭掉小人。灾祸和福祚是上天用来表示慈爱之心的手段，就像雷雨雪霜一样，都是为了培育滋养万物。所以君子担心有灾祸便恭敬戒惧，小人得了便宜便忘了危险。君子害怕祸来反而会招来福祉，小人以疏忽之心看待福祉反而会招来灾祸，这就是《左传》所说的「祸福没有定数，全由各人自召」。
