I'm not a politician, I'm a performance artist.

翻译：如果士卒还未真心拥护就施加刑罚，他们就不服，不服就难以使用；如果士卒已经真心拥护了还不施加刑罚，也不可用。

Suspend judgment， and you alone will be unperturbed.

The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it.
