(I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.)
“你想利人，就告诉他真相。你想利己，就告诉他他想听的。” (When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.)“在一群伪君子中，一个诚实人会引起何等大的恐慌，这真是奇妙。” (It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites. )“有人以自己的‘复杂’为傲，嘲笑他人‘简单’。他们应该认识到，真理往往不复杂，编织谎言才复杂。”(People who pride themselves on their "complexity" and deride others for being "simplistic"should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complexis evading the truth.)“过去三十年的西方社会史，多是以悦耳的取代管用的。” (Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.)“张力（Johnny）的问题不是不读书，也不是不思考。问题是他不知道思考为何物，他把感觉当成了思考。”(The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.)“知识精英常犯的大错是，他们不记得‘他们不是上帝’。”(Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble remembering that they are not God.)长期以来，种族主义的档案上从无战绩。他们屡战屡败，但从不放弃，现在他们重新招兵买马换司令。 (Racism does not have a good track record. It's been tried out for a long time and you'd think by now we'd want to put an end to it instead of putting it under new management. )“很奇怪，那些认为我们无力支付医生、医院、和药物费用的人，却认为在它们上面再加一个政府管理机构，我们就能支付医生，医院，药物和那个机构的费用了。”(It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.)“尽管关于‘收入分配’的文献汗牛充栋、热情洋溢，但冷酷的事实是：收入本身不是分配产生的，而是勤劳赚来的。” (Despite a voluminous and often fervent literature on "income distribution," the cold fact is that most income is not distributed: It is earned.)“Socialism纸上谈兵很精彩，一实行就是灾难。看看世界上各种族、各肤色、各信仰的人群，所有尝试过socialism的，哪个不是从过去的粮食过剩走向饥饿贫穷……。” (Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.... )“Socialism已经向全世界昭示了它长长的失败记录，只有知识分子才视而不见。”（Socialismin general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.）“说出完整真相的方式只有两种：匿名或不要命。”
（There are only two ways of telling the complete truth--anonymously and posthumously.）
“什么是‘最好的’並不重要，关键是，这个‘最好的’由谁决定。”(The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best.）“当人们习惯被特殊优待后，平等对待反成了歧视。”
（When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.）
