What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift， kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful， and if you do， it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.

Home is not a place, it's a feeling.

——回答兄长孙眉，1884年

大地赐予我们宝藏，但我们的责任是回馈多于索取。

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

在危机时刻，透明度和问责制至关重要。

时间和记忆是真正的艺术家；它们将现实重新塑造得更接近内心的愿望。
