表演是一种活出自己疯狂的方式。

The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know.

能消除将要发生的事，遇到事情而能做弥补，事情发生后能挽救，这叫做达权，有才干。知道将来的事，做事有始有终，已成的事能知其中的变化，这叫做深思熟虑、有见识。

The friendship of a gentleman is light as water; the friendship of a small person is sweet as honey.

Life is too short to waste time on people who don't respect you.

最大的危险是不冒任何风险。

【译文】下等君主用自己能力，中等君主用他人劳力，上等君主用他人智慧。

文学的美在于它超越时间和空间的能力。
