我希望在即将到来的这一年里，你会犯错误。因为如果你在犯错误，那么你就是在创造新事物，尝试新事物，学习，生活，推动自己，改变自己，改变你的世界。你正在做你以前从未做过的事情，更重要的是，你正在做一些事情。
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.
I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.
译文：救助陷入危难之中的人，就如同世上的活菩萨；能够超脱世俗之外的人，便称得上大英雄。赏析：救人一命，胜造七级浮屠。救人于危难之中，助人于急需之时。身处俗世，心若有桃花源，亦能自成一方天地。
确保和平的最佳方式是维持主要国家之间的权力平衡。
The poet must be a seer, make himself a seer.
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
