All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.

I always tell my kids, 'If you're going to do something, do it well. And if you're not going to do it well, don't do it at all.'

"Writing is a way to give voice to the voiceless."

译文：志向不能不高远，志向不高元，就会被世俗所污染，不会有大作为；心气不能太大，心气过高，就会好高骛远，难有作为。赏析：做人要立志高远，志向远大，目标才明确，但做事不能好高骛远，眼高手低，否则，事情就会半途而废。大事做不来，小事不愿意做，是很多人通病。一个人的成功都是从小事做起，做基层做起，只有厚积才能薄发。
