出自汉·桓宽《盐铁论·刺复》。做大事的人要有耐心，没耐心就会乱了方寸，误了大事；做小事的人不能有怠慢轻忽之心，否则事情就做不成。前句之意是说，做大事（如治国安邦）要有足够的耐心，不能有浮躁之气，不然思虑不周，定会坏了大事。

爱，始于自我欺骗，终于欺骗他人，这就是所谓的浪漫。

Sustainability is not an option; it's a responsibility we owe to future generations.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
