I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.

未来属于那些能够平衡经济增长与环境保护的人。

如果你想成功，就必须愿意做出艰难的决定。

译文：从古至今英雄人物总是要经历磨难才能成就大业，而娇生惯养之辈总是缺少气概难以成就伟业。赏析：生于忧患，死于安乐。一个人要想成功必定要经历很多痛苦和艰难，如果人太安逸和舒适了，就会丧失斗志。
