Not necessarily your mother, or indeed mine, but, as it were, the ideal mother, somebody who doesn't care about your achievements. Unfortunately, most people are not our mothers. Most people make a strict correlation between how much time, and if you like, love -- not romantic love, though that may be something -- but love in general, respect --they are willing to accord us, that will be strictly defined by our position in the social hierarchy.

The best policies are those that align economic incentives with ecological health.

"I am not interested in the average. I am interested in the extreme."

释义：上顺应于天，下取悦于民。使民众喜悦，人民便忘记了劳苦；用喜悦战胜困难，民众就会忘掉死亡的威胁，喜悦的作用太大了，它能勉励民众！
