树橘柚者，食之则甘，嗅之则香；树枳棘者，成而刺人。故君子慎所树。
译文：种植橘柚，吃起来是甜的，闻起来是香的；种植枳棘，长大了却会刺人。所以君子要谨慎地选择所要培养的人才。
True leadership is about empowering others to achieve their potential.
晏子春秋
We are like islands in the sea， separate on the surface but connected in the deep.
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
The true value of a forest cannot be measured in board feet alone; its worth is in the life it sustains.
