数学家的模式，就像画家或诗人的模式一样，必须是美丽的；思想，就像颜色或文字一样，必须以和谐的方式结合在一起。
The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's, must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colors or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way.
——〈民权主义第五讲〉，1924年4月20日
The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.
当你不必假装成别人时，生活会轻松得多。
Success is nothing if you don't have the right people to share it with.
