Creativity is not a talent; it’s a way of operating. - 每日文摘

教学中，“从事实到事实”，就会使学生成为一种追求狭隘实利的平庸之辈，这不是因为事实本身是有局限的，而是因为把事实分成了一成不变的、预先准备好的若干条目，想象的余地也没有了。提出事实是为了刺激想象，如果能在新的情境中提示出事实来，那么想象也就自然地随之丰富了。

杜威

凡是自强不息者，最终都会成功。

歌德

每个人生来就有双重的权利：人身自由的权利和继承财产的权利。

约翰·洛克

你已经知道我对你的爱有点自私。真的，哪一个人得到一颗明珠不希望它永远归己所有呢。我也是。

王小波

虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后。

毛泽东

If you believe that every life has equal value, it's revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. We said to ourselves: "This can't be true. But if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving."

如果你相信每个生命都是平等的，那么当你发现某些生命被挽救了，而另一些生命被放弃了，你会感到无法接受。我们对自己说：“事情不可能如此。如果这是真的，那么它理应是我们努力的头等大事。”

比尔·盖茨

无论你多么成功、聪明或勇敢，都有可能身陷困境。人们常常认为自己是唯一的现实，但每个个体都有自己的现实。见得越多，就越有可能理解他人的处境。

苏世民

等我长大了，要有自己的家，家里要有书、书、书……。

贝蒂·史密斯

用最少的悔恨面对过去。用最少的浪费面对现在。用最多的梦面对未来。

王蒙

On innovation: "I think frugality drives innovation， just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out."

我认为节俭驱动创新，就像其他限制驱动创新一样。从一个密闭的盒子里走出去的唯一途径就是创造一条道路。

杰夫·贝索斯

I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.

我认为我们已经经历了一个时期，太多的人被引导去理解，如果他们有问题，这是政府的工作来应对它。“我有一个问题，我会获得补助。”“我无家可归，政府必须给我住房。”他们把问题抛给社会。而且，你知道，没有社会这种东西。只有个人男性和女性以及家庭。除了通过人民，政府什么也做不了，而人民必须首先照顾自己。照顾自己是我们的责任，然后，也要照顾我们的邻居。人们太过于考虑权利，而忽视了义务。
