2001：贝索斯致股东信《我们始终坚持现金流为王》

Success is not just about making money; it's about making a difference.

The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded.

In every society, there are voices that are silenced; literature gives them a chance to speak.

译文：世俗风气之所以狡诈的人很多，到最后只有忠厚正直的人才能立得住脚；社会风气都以奢侈浮华为上，但最后还是觉得平淡安静的日子才更耐人寻味。赏析：做事就是做人。狡诈的行为虽然可以赢得一时的信任，但最后还是忠厚之人获得永久的尊重。历经人世繁华，方知平淡最真。

最终，我们记住的不是敌人的话语，而是朋友的沉默。
