世界是一个充满阴影的地方，而我们则是穿行其中的幽灵。

晏子春秋

优秀的设计在于解决问题，而不仅仅是让事物看起来美观。

The most successful societies in the future will be those that are able to combine the efficiency and technological dynamism of the market with the social safety nets and political stability provided by the state.

衰败的恶果，都是强盛时不知修持而积累来的。人老后的疾病，都因年轻时不知养生而落下的。

从今往后,所有的帝国都是思想的帝国。

Your present state determines your future.
