The measure of a civilization is how it treats its artists.

翻译：君主不应该因为发怒而兴兵，将领也不应该因为发怒而出战。符合国家利益就行动，不符合国家利益就停止。愤怒可以转变为欢喜，恼怒也可以转为喜悦，但国家灭亡了就不能再建立，人死了就不能复活。

The highest art is to conceal art.

It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world.

最大的风险就是不冒任何风险。在一个快速变化的世界里，唯一注定失败的策略就是不冒险。
