天下古今之庸人,皆以一惰字致败;天下古今之才人,皆以一傲字致败。
郦波在解读曾国藩时引用的曾国藩原话
The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
The details are not the details. They make the design.
