"Escribir es una forma de hablar sin ser interrumpido."

The road to success is always under construction—keep building.

Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

我年青时以为金钱至上，而今年事已迈，发现果真如此。

人生就像一首歌，有高潮也有低谷。

恐惧只是需要调整态度的兴奋。

依靠聪明、平衡的人类几个世纪以来所依赖的普通美德。常识、节俭、现实的期望、耐心和毅力。
