外交需要克服短期利益的诱惑，着眼于长远利益和全球发展。

我们俩（沃伦-巴菲特）都坚持几乎每天都有大量时间坐下来思考。这在美国商界非常罕见。我们阅读和思考。

To write is to create a world within a world.

Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.

每一笔都是塑造永恒的决定。
