The greatness of human actions is measured by the inspiration that gives rise to them.

"A good programmer is not one who knows all the answers, but one who knows how to find them."

词语曾是我的祖国，而我被剥夺了它。

The best time to buy is when no one else wants it.

宣传之于民主，正如棍棒之于极权国家。

Calm is contagious.

I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself and my paintings.

读书人要为自己的一生爱惜名誉，不应为这一生出卖名誉。治理诗书，崇尚气节，谨慎取予，严肃仪表，这就是爱惜名誉。相互竞争标榜，攀附权贵，出尽风头，不分是非，这就是出卖名誉。爱惜名誉的人清静无为，出卖名誉的人急躁而拙劣。所以读书人要管理钱财正当用途，而不是浪费金钱。救济乡亲，聘请老师教学，赈济荒年歉收，协助善行，这些是运用钱财。而花钱布置庭园，唱歌跳舞，大宴宾客，积聚宝物等，这些都是浪费金钱。善用金钱的人虽花钱但收获丰盈，伤财的人积聚多但终将倾覆。

释义：人的行为必须与自然规律相协调，才能取得成功。这句话强调人与自然的和谐关系。
