The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.

把一些多余的技巧还给大自然，把一些用不完的俸禄还给国家，把一些用不能完的财富还给百姓，把一些用不尽的福泽造福子孙。

With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one - but no one at all - can tell you what to read and when and how.

I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.

Success is the only option, failure’s not.
