It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

可持续性不是一种趋势，而是我们对未来的责任。

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast， and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old， and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't， and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy， I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires， a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil， baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor， and she wanted me to follow my passion.

意志不坚强的人，智慧也不会高到哪里去；说话不算数的人，做事也不会果敢痛快。

The only way to tell the truth is to speak without fear.

即使被关在果壳之中，我仍是无限宇宙之王。

The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them.
