"The past is a shadow that follows us, but it does not have to define us."

一如灵魂和理性相互依存。

And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.

——《在山西实业界学界及各党派欢迎会的演说》（1912年9月20日）

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true-hardwork pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice.

心灵不是世界的一面镜子，而是应对世界的工具。

我无所畏惧——不是鲁莽的那种，而是忠于真实的自我。
