Democracy begins to fail and political life becomes impoverished in the absence of those vital public spheres such as public and higher education in which civic values, public scholarship, and social engagement allow for a more imaginative grasp of a future that takes seriously the demands of justice, equity, and civic courage.
民主开始失败，政治生活变得贫乏，当缺乏那些重要的公共领域时，如公共和高等教育，在这些领域中，公民价值观、公共学术和社会参与允许对未来有更富想象力的把握，认真对待正义、公平和公民勇气的需求。
Like dear St Francis of Assisi I am wedded to Poverty: but in my case the marriage is not a success.
就像亲爱的圣芳济一样，我也和贫穷联姻，但我的婚姻并不成功。
做出伟大工作的唯一方法是热爱你所做的事情。
一个人的信念必须超越自我和个人需求，它可以是自己的公司、祖国或服役义务。任何因信念和核心价值观的激励而选择的挑战都是值得的，无论最终的结果是成功还是失败。
