"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success."

对我来说，这总是很奇怪……我们钦佩的人的品质，如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和感受，在我们的系统中是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质，如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自我中心和自私，是成功的特质。

"I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit."

我开始相信，一位伟大的教师是一位伟大的艺术家，而且像其他伟大的艺术家一样稀少。教学甚至可能是最伟大的艺术，因为媒介是人的思想和精神。

"What good's an opinion if you don't know?"

如果你不知道，意见有什么用呢？

找出你是否能信任某人的最好方法就是信任他们。
