The battle of life is already half won by the young man who is brought personally in contact with high officials; and the great aim of every boy should be to do something beyond the sphere of his duties--something which attracts the attention of those who over him.
I'm not interested in competing with anyone. I hope we all make it.
——《在东京（民报）创刊周年庆祝大会的演说》（1906年12月2日）
Language is the only homeland we truly possess.
