我认为，一个人应该认识到现实，即使他不喜欢它；事实上，尤其是当他不喜欢它的时候。
I think that one should recognize reality even when one doesn’t like it; indeed, especially when one doesn’t like it.
钱财地位，往往成为丛集怨恨的渊薮；才华能力，常常就是招致灾祸的根由；名望声誊，往往成为引来毁谤的媒介；欢欣快乐，常常就是走向悲凉的开始。
郦波在解读曾国藩时引用的曾国藩原话
我不是梦想家，我是实干家。
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar. You're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
我们都是自以为是的伪君子。
