People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
同行很少聚在一起,即使是为了娱乐,谈话最终都会以反对公众的阴谋或提高价格的某种策划而结束。

No matter what the future holds, I will continue to sing.
在数学中,真理不是通过共识而是通过证明来发现的。
——〈在北京基督教等六教会欢迎会的演说〉,1912年9月5日
人心如海:有风暴,有潮汐,有深渊;其中也有珍珠。
