路途再近，你不走，也不会到达。事情再小，不去做也不可能完成。

The quality of a country's institutions is the single most important determinant of its long-term economic performance.

For me, the most exciting thing is to see the impact of the work that we do.

"Escribir es una forma de vivir, de respirar, de existir."

——《民国月刊》出世辞（1913年5月20日)

不要怜悯死者，哈利。怜悯生者，尤其是那些没有爱的人。

写好文章的唯一方法就是先写糟糕的文章。

To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it.
