政治是一把磨钝了的挫刀，他挫着挫着，慢慢地达到它的目的。

The essence of strategy is that you must set limits on what you’re trying to accomplish.

战略的本质是你必须对你想要完成的事情设定限制。

I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。我惹麻烦了吗？我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次？还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉？我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。我们在房车旁停下来。祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说："杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。"

金钱对于任何人都会有强烈的诱惑力，当一个人被这种诱惑力所驱使时，聪明才智和计谋胆识才能得到充分的发挥。

你占有一个女人的肉体乃是一种无礼，以后你不再去占有却是一种更可怕的无礼。前者只是侵犯了她的羞耻心，后者却侵犯了她的自尊心。

跨国公司只不外是一个一般的竞争者，他们有他们的上风跟局限，在竞争中他们既有可能是狼，也有可能变成纸老虎。
