由于求知欲的泛滥，一张普遍的思想之网如何笼罩全球，甚至奢透整个太阳系的规律。 - 每日文摘

幸好，人民不思考。

It is fortunate for governments that the people do not think.

古斯塔夫·勒庞

大丈夫生于乱世，当带三尺剑立不世之功；今所志未遂，奈何死乎！

罗贯中

Sustainability isn't an option; it's a responsibility we owe to future generations.

可持续发展不是一种选择，而是我们对后代的责任。

詹姆斯·卡特

The database is the most important piece of software in the enterprise, and the most important piece of software in the enterprise is the database. The database is the foundation of all applications. The database is the heart of the application, and the application is the heart of the business. The key to performance is to keep the hot data in memory. The future of databases is in the cloud. Data is the new oil. It's valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. It has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etc to create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so must data be broken down, analyzed for it to have value.

数据库是企业中最重要的软件，而企业中最重要的软件是数据库。数据库是所有应用程序的基础。数据库是应用程序的心脏，而应用程序是业务的心脏。性能的关键是将热数据保存在内存中。数据库的未来在云端。数据是新的石油。它很有价值，但如果未经提炼，它就不能真正被使用。它必须被转化为气体、塑料、化学品等，以创造一个有价值的实体，推动有利可图的活动；所以数据必须被分解、分析，才能有价值。
