Success comes from taking calculated risks, not reckless ones.

真正的天堂是我们已经失去的天堂。

国家是人类历史上最重要的制度。

复仇是一道需要冷吃的菜。

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

【译文】 孔子说：“有益的爱好有三种，有害的爱好有三种。爱好礼乐、爱好称赞别人的优点，爱好广结善友，有益处；爱好放荡、爱好闲逛、爱好大吃大喝，有害处。”
