5.If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
如果你需要信口开河、会说的人,得找个男人;如果你需要找具体做事儿的人,一定要找个女人!
6.Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope.
凡是有不和的地方,我们要为和谐而努力;凡是有谬误的地方,我们要为真理而努力;凡是有疑虑的地方,我们要为信任而努力;凡是有绝望的地方,我们要为希望而努力。

我喜欢争论,我喜欢辩论,我不希望任何人只是坐在我边上,同意我的观点,这不是他们的工作。
10.We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state.
我们想要一个人民可以自由的选择、犯错、持有宽容及同情心的社会。这就是我们所谓的道德社会;不是一个国家要负所有责任,而没有人须要为国家负责的社会。
11.Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
做大人物就像做淑女一样。如果你告诉人们你是,那就说明你不是。
12.Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become.
注意你的思想,因为它们将变成言辞;注意你的言辞,因为它们将变成行动;注意你的行动,因为它们将变成习惯;注意你的习惯,因为它们将变成性格;注意你的性格,因为它们将决定你的命运。 我们想的是什么,就会成为什么样的人
