There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other.

这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代；这是信仰的时代，也是怀疑的时代；这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；这是希望的春天，也是绝望的冬天；我们什么都有，也什么都没有；我们正走向天堂之路，也正走向地狱之门。

生活的最好方式是无条件地爱。

The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way， so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs， or impede their efforts to obtain it.

Great leadership is about empowering others to achieve what they didn't think was possible.

真正的领导力在于赋能他人取得成功。
