The world is mostly right. The world is mostly wrong.
这个世界大多时候是对的。这个世界大多时候是错的。
过去是跟随我们的影子，但也是指引我们前进的光。
——〈临时大总统誓词〉，1912年1月1日
"Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through your fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know."
孔子说：“《诗经》三百首，用一句话可以概括，即：‘思想纯洁’。”
