A commonwealth is said to be instituted when a multitude of men do agree， and covenant， every one， with every one， that to whatsoever man， or assembly of men， shall be given by the major part， the right to present the person of them all， that is to say， to be their representative.

我做事情不是为了回应或争议，我只是在过自己的生活。

时间是阻止光线到达我们的东西。

I'm not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve.

I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

以真诚之心送人礼物，一定会送自认为最好的东西。俗话说：“听君一席话，胜读十年书”，君子赠人以善语，俗人则赠人以财物。

Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Their needs drive our purpose and inspire our progress.

今天种下的每一棵树，都是对明天的承诺。
