The very shaping of history now outpaces the ability of men to orient themselves in accordance with cherished values. And which values? Even when they do not panic, men often sense that older ways of feeling and thinking have collapsed and that newer beginnings are ambiguous to the point of moral stasis.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

在我们认识到我们过去所做的很多事情是非常愚蠢的之前，我们不会变得更聪明。

True leadership is about empowering others to achieve more than they thought possible.

译文：心就是理。天下难道还有心外的事情、心外的道理吗?
