The speed of innovation determines the height of development.

爱护自己的体面不如注重廉耻；求医用药不如善养性情；结党营私不如昭示信义；作威作福不如诚恳笃实；过多的表白不如谨小慎微；巧取声名不如矫正自己心念；恣意于奢侈恣逸，不如从名教中自取其乐；安置田宅不如给儿孙多施家教。

Envy is a really stupid sin because it’s the only one you could never possibly have any fun at. There’s a lot of pain and no fun. Why would you want to get on that trolley?

我越是坚决地以自我存在于时代的条件中，我就越清晰地听到过去的语言，越感受到世纪的气息。
