The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.

世界上充满了显而易见的事情，但没有人会偶然观察到。

The best policies are those that last longer than a political term.

The best ideas come from collaboration, not isolation.

对世界抱有理想化的看法是错误的。这就是麻烦的开始。这就是一切开始瓦解的地方。
