A mathematician's work is never truly finished; there is always more to explore.

我不追逐成功，我追求卓越。

The boundaries of our knowledge are the frontiers of our curiosity.

伟大的领导者愿意做出他人回避的艰难决定。

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

对于企业而言，糟糕的运作加上混乱的管理，结果常常是一笔糊涂帐。
