2000年：贝索斯致股东信《即使在最残酷的时期，也将努力把公司打造更具“重量”》

The only way to understand history is to live it.

度过生活的唯一方法就是笑着度过它。你要么笑，要么哭。我更喜欢笑。哭会让我头疼。

"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success."

圣经是上帝赐给人类的最大祝福之一。
