“上帝存在”不是一个可以被证实或证伪的经验命题，因此它既非真亦非假，而是字面上无意义的。

Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by， common to everyone， and not to be subject to the inconstant， uncertain， arbitrary will of another man.

政府下的人的自由是拥有一个普遍适用的常规生活准则，而不受另一个人的多变、不确定和武断意愿的支配。

约翰·洛克

In the vastness of the universe, our problems seem small, yet our potential for understanding is limitless.

在浩瀚的宇宙中，我们的问题显得渺小，但我们理解的潜力是无限的。

丹尼尔·哈洛

美德藐视人间的一切讥嘲，清白愈受到诽谤身份愈高。

保持耐心，成功需要时间。

张一鸣

Wholly unprepared, we embark upon the second half of life. Or are there perhaps colleges for forty-year-olds which prepare them for their coming life and its demands as the ordinary colleges introduce our young people to a knowledge of the world? No, thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.

我们完全手足无措地踏上生命的后半征程。普通大学把年轻人引入知识世界，什么学校能让四十几岁人为未来生活做好准备？没有这种学校，我们完全无备地踏入后半生；而更糟的是，我们假定现实和理想会一如既往地效忠于我们。但实际上，我们不能依照生命之晨，来度过生命之午后，因为晨时的伟大会成为傍晚时的琐碎，而晨时的真理会在傍晚变为谎言。
