The greatest virtue in life is real courage that knows how to face facts and live beyond them.
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

读古人的著作,与贤能的人交往,最忌讳轻率地表示附和赞同,也不能够轻率地表示异议。之所以会犯这两种过失,都是由于心中缺乏主见,做学问时就掺杂有趋炎附势的成分,不是曲意逢迎便是虚伪矫饰。
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
