我那是还不知道人的本性是多么的矛盾复杂；我不知道在真诚里含有多少做作，在高尚中有多少卑劣，在邪恶中又有多少善良。

朱孟楠

Diplomacy is not about passively adapting to change, but actively shaping change.

Wholly unprepared, we embark upon the second half of life. Or are there perhaps colleges for forty-year-olds which prepare them for their coming life and its demands as the ordinary colleges introduce our young people to a knowledge of the world? No, thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.

我们完全手足无措地踏上生命的后半征程。普通大学把年轻人引入知识世界，什么学校能让四十几岁人为未来生活做好准备？没有这种学校，我们完全无备地踏入后半生；而更糟的是，我们假定现实和理想会一如既往地效忠于我们。但实际上，我们不能依照生命之晨，来度过生命之午后，因为晨时的伟大会成为傍晚时的琐碎，而晨时的真理会在傍晚变为谎言。

比最好的视力更重要的是你内心的视野，你甜蜜的灵魂会在你一生中耳语着给予你指引和恩典――那才是真正的欢愉。

给年轻时的自己一个建议：“做真实的自己。”

诗歌为中国人的宗教。

林语堂

人生没有真正的绝望。树，在秋天落下了树叶，心很疼，可是整个冬天，她让心在平静中积蓄力量。春天一到，芳华依然。只要生命还握在手心，人生就没有绝望。
