一个好的侦探既听噪音，也听沉默。

——从浙江观潮返上海后题词，1916年9月15日

"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it."

The only thing that can make you great is your own passion.

译文：在平淡中交往的朋友，往往能长久维持；在平静安稳的环境生活，往往会延年益寿。赏析：君子之交淡如水。真正的朋友是看重对方的人品才交往的。清净养生，喧嚣伤身。安静的生活环境，平和的处事心态，方能益寿延年。

"A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead."

思考程序的最好方法是思考它。
