"The higher you go, the more your mistakes cost."

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

最大的安逸，就是知足乐和；最大的危险，就是多言致祸；最为可贵的，就是无欲无求；最为卑贱的，就是贪欲过多；最大的快乐，就是乐善好施；最大的痛悔，就是贪图钱财；最大的长处，就是足智多谋；最大的短处，就是自负自矜；最大的聪明，就是体察天功，最大的昏暗，就是不明征兆。

I've always been attracted to the lyric poem because of what it omits.

可持续性不是一种选择；它是我们对后代的责任。

The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe.
