I used to think the world was broken down by tribes. Then I thought it was broken down by rich and poor. Then I thought it was broken down by stupid and smart. But I know now that it is broken down by people who are alive and people who are dead.

做出伟大工作的唯一方法就是热爱你所做的事情。

释义：当遭受他人的侮辱时，要能做到面不改色，保持常态；察觉到别人的过失，绝不四处宣扬；发现对方的奸诈意图，也不会因愤怒而立即摊牌。真正的关键在于，要将自己的才能与锋芒隐藏起来，耐心等待最适合行动的时机。一个人若立志成为翱翔天际的苍鹰，就不要去参与枝头鸟雀的无谓争斗。

成功转型的关键在于正确安排改革的顺序，而不是急于全面自由化。

坚持做自己，因为没有人能代替你。

民主的未来取决于民主社会自我改革和适应新挑战的能力。
