Our experience tends to confirm a long-held notion that being prepared, on a few occasions in a lifetime, to act promptly in scale, in doing some simple and logical thing, will often dramatically improve the financial results of that lifetime.

——〈上李鸿章书〉，1894年1月

我喜欢夜晚。没有黑暗，我们就永远看不到星星。

The real is always just beyond reach.

爱是能力和意愿，让你关心的人成为他们自己选择的样子，而不坚持他们必须满足你。
