如果有自己的长处，就会有自己的追求；如果能让自己发挥出来并得到相应的报酬，就会得到所想要的。这句话表明了人要有志向和追求，不要为了个人方便而牺牲他人和社会进步。墨家倡导和谐社会的思想也被后世视为仁爱思想。它强调人在实现自身价值的过程中，在不断追求和实现自身价值的同时也应当实现他人和社会的价值。这也即是墨子所说的“取之于人而用之于人”。

优秀的设计在于解决问题，而不仅仅是让事物看起来美观。

阿拉伯文学的美在于它能够将历史与想象编织在一起。

We are all just passing through, and the world is indifferent to our passing.

所有好的写作都像在水下游泳和屏住呼吸。

爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。

I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."
