The hardest thing is to live richly in the present without letting it be tainted by the past or future.
I don’t let setbacks define me. I let them strengthen me.
The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike.
——〈在北京湖广会馆学界欢迎会的演说〉,1912年8月30日
The Golden Rule will never fail you. It is the foundation of all other virtues.
