保守主义始于一种所有成熟人都能轻易共鸣的情感：美好的事物容易被摧毁，却不易被创造。

The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may not be going to prove one's self a fool; the truest heroism is to resist the doubt; and the profoundest wisdom, to know when it ought to be resisted, and when it be obeyed.

The historian’s task is to understand the past, the novelist’s to make it live.

我不认为你可以准备得太多。

成功是对所有怀疑者最好的报复。
