禁止持有武器的法律。只会解除那些本来就不打算或没有决心要犯罪的人的武装……这样的法律只会让受害者变得更糟,让行凶者更强;它们相当于鼓励而不是阻止凶杀,因为一个没有武装的人更可能被一个武装的人袭击。
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

The more you lose, the more you learn.
你们要不计一切代价地展示聪明,还是选择善良?
在数学中,就像在生活中一样,最优雅的解决方案往往来自于对问题的深刻理解。
