The ideas of economists and political philosophers， both when they are right and when they are wrong， are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men， who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence， are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.
无论是正确的还是错误的，经济学家和政治哲学家的思想都比通常理解的有力。确实，世界不受其他任何事物统治。自信不被知识分子影响的那些所谓务实的人，往往只是几个过时经济学家思想的奴隶。（Concluding Notes. p. 383-384）
The love of a teacher is like drops of dew, which can revive even a withered soul; the love of a teacher is like a warm spring breeze, which can melt even frozen emotions.
In every exhibition, there is an opportunity to rewrite history, to include voices that have been marginalized or forgotten.
The truth is often hidden in plain sight.
译文：读书人既然知道学习的重要性，就怕做学问没有一颗恒心，人不怕贫穷，就怕人穷志也穷。赏析：读书最怕浅尝辄止，一知半解。知识如大海一般没有尽头，我们要有坚持不懈的定力，方能学到真本领。我们身处困境，不能丧失斗志，在哪里跌倒就在哪里爬起。
