The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.
消灭一个民族的第一步是抹去它的记忆。摧毁它的书籍，它的文化，它的历史。然后让某人写新书，制造新文化，发明新历史。不久之后，这个民族就会开始忘记它是什么以及它曾经是什么。

The soul is a fire that darts its rays through all the senses; it is in this fire that existence consists.
To be free is not to have no master, but to choose your own.
市场是一个永远在不可持续的乐观（使股票过于昂贵）和不合理的悲观（使股票过于便宜）之间摇摆的钟摆。聪明的投资者是现实主义者，他们向乐观主义者出售并从悲观主义者那里购买。
人生最大的美德是真正的勇气，懂得如何面对事实并超越它们。
You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities.
