Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.

Architecture is not about the architect, it’s about the people who use it.

将宇宙万物的事视为自己的事，自己的事也就是宇宙万物的事。

The true historian is a soldier of truth.

"The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential."

译文：与其让乡邻夸赞自己，不如让他们对自己没有怨言；与其为子孙谋求财富和产业，不如教会他们受用一生的本事。赏析：我们要做到被人人称赞很难，但可以做到不被人抱怨。对方抱怨，肯定是内心有不平事。当我们动之以情，晓之以理，做到公平公正，一视同仁，乡邻的怨愤才会减少。授人以鱼，不如授人以渔。我们竭尽全力为子孙后代积攒万贯家财，如果他们不会理财，家业迟早都会败光。相反，我们教会他们赚钱的本事，教会他们做人的准则，他们自然可以立于不败之地。
