读书当观其气象，论事当究其实。
译文：读书要体会其中的格局与气象，讨论事情要探究本质。强调深度思考与实证。
我们都面临着一系列被巧妙地伪装成不可能情况的伟大机会。
The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash.
It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
