我从不允许自己对任何事情有意见，除非我比他们更了解另一方的观点。
I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don’t know the other side’s argument better than they do.

"Writing is a way of making sense of the chaos of life."
自己所具备的美德，可以希望别人也具有，但是不能强求别人具有；自己所没有的品德，可以规劝他人具有，却不能怪罪别人没有。因此待人宽容的人根据自己的心理来体察别人的感受，决不按照自己的情况来衡量别人。
The duty of a true patriot is to protect his country from its government.
