If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

我们时代的挑战是在一个持续连接的世界中找到平衡。

"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."

以德行来排列位次，按官职来处理政事，按照劳绩来决定赏赐，衡量功勋二分给俸禄。 

I never look back, I look forward.

心灵应通过对自然的研究被引导到对上帝的认识。
