The goal of mathematics is to make the simple complicated, and the complicated simple.
数学的目标是使简单的复杂化,使复杂的简单化。
在这个世界上,你无法选择是否受伤,但你可以选择由谁来伤害你。

获得智慧是一种道德责任,它不仅仅是为了让你们的生活变得更加美好。有一个相关的道理非常重要,那就是你们必须坚持终身学习。如果不终身学习,你们将不会取得很高的成就。光靠已有的知识,你们在生活中走不了多远。
Wisdom acquisition is a moral duty. It’s not something you do just to advance in life. And there’s a corollary to that proposition which is very important. It means that you’re hooked for lifetime learning, and without lifetime learning you people are not going to do very well. You are not going to get very far in life based on what you already know.
The best scientific discoveries often happen at the interface of different disciplines.
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.
自然状态有一种自然法则来管理它,这种法则约束着每个人:而理性,即这种法则,教导所有愿意咨询它的人类,既然都是平等和独立的,任何人都不应伤害他人的生命、健康、自由或财产。
真正的旅程不在于发现新的风景,而在于用新的眼光去看。
