在所有时代,困扰人类并给他们带来大部分灾难的大问题,不是世界上是否有权力,也不是权力来自何处,而是谁应该拥有它。
The great question which, in all ages, has disturbed mankind, and brought on them the greatest part of their mischiefs, has been, not whether there be power in the world, nor whence it came, but who should have it.
Time is a slippery thing: lose hold of it once, and its string might sail out of your hands forever.
我们手里的金钱是保持自由的一种工具;我们所追求的金钱,则是使自己当奴隶的一种工具。
