The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world. In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future.

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.

宇宙不仅比我们想象的更奇怪，而且比我们能想象的还要奇怪。

I'm not a giver, I'm a taker.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

The market is never wrong – opinions often are.

在信息时代，知识是唯一的可持续竞争优势。

罪行带来耻辱，而非断头台。

【译文】 子贡说：“贫穷却不阿谀奉承，富贵却不狂妄自大，怎样？”孔子说：“可以。不如穷得有志气，富得有涵养的人。”子贡说：“修养的完善，如同玉器的加工：切了再磋，琢了再磨，对吧？”孔子说：“子贡啊，现在可以与你谈诗了。说到过去，你就知道未来。”
