Every challenge is an opportunity in disguise.

处理一个不自由的世界的唯一方法是变得如此绝对自由，以至于你的存在本身就是一种反抗。

I am heartily rejoiced that my term is so near its close. I will soon cease to be a servant and will become a sovereign.

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.  

极简主义不是关于减少，而是关于揭示本质。

Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.
