翻译：天的运行刚健不辍，君子应当像天那样自强不息。

——《在山西实业界学界及各党派欢迎会的演说》（1912年9月20日）

I’m not a guy that’s going to let my city down.

我宁愿因为做真实的自己而被讨厌，也不愿因为伪装而被喜欢。

In the state of nature, indeed, all men are born equal, but they cannot continue in this equality. Society makes them lose it, and they recover it only by the protection of the laws.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

乐观是一种可以学习的技能。
