  • 活着，如同生命最后一天般活着；
    学习，如同永远活着般学习！
    ——圣雄甘地 （印度国父）

  • 学习不是填满水桶，而是点燃火焰！
    Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.

  • 这些（监狱的）围墙很有趣。起初，你痛恨它；然后，你逐渐习惯它；足够长时间后，你开始依赖它。这就是体制化。
    （These walls are funny. First you hate them. Then you get used to them. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That is institutionalized.）

  • 怀特 (E. B. White）曾经说过“暴君并不怕唠叨的作家宣扬自由的思想──他害怕一个醉酒的诗人说了一个笑话，吸引了全民的注意力。”
    两个都怕，哈哈

  • 作家加缪在1940年新年为《共和党人晚报》最后一期社论写下的一段话：“不要希冀任何事，而是要做点什么。不要等待着他人从头至尾地构建你的命运，尤其是当命运仍掌握在我们手中。《共和党人晚报》今年不会祝您幸福，因为它知道您的身体和精神正在经历重创。但它需要您保持必要的力量和清醒，去努力维持您自己的宁静与尊严。”

  • 时报采访了其中的一位代表人物，30岁的玛琳·恩格尔霍恩继承了至少八位数欧元的遗产，因为她的祖上创立了巴斯夫，这是世界上最大的化工公司之一。她认为不应该由富人基于个人兴趣来安排财富，而是希望以税收的形式向国家直接捐出至少九成遗产。我很欣赏她说的一句话，“特权真的让你对世界的看法非常非常狭隘。”
    好想体验下特权的感觉......

  • My feelings about Das Kapital are the same as my feelings about the Koran.
    I know that it is historically important and I know that many people, not all of whom are idiots, find it
    a sort of Rock of Ages and containing inspiration.
    Yet when I look into it, it is to me inexplicable that it can have this effect. Its dreary, out of date,
    academic controversialising seems so extraordinarily unsuited for this purpose. But then, as I have said,
    I feel just the same about the Koran. How could either of these books carry fire and sword round half the world?
    It beats me. Clearly there is some defect in my understanding.
    Do you believe both Das Kapital and the Koran? Or only Das Kapital? But what ever sociological value of the latter?
    I am sure that its contemporary economic value is nil.

  • Marx was an important and influential thinker, and Marxism has been a doctrine with intellectual and practical influence.
    The fact is, however, that most serious English-speaking economists regard Marxist economics as an irrelevant dead end.

  • 布哈林曾经说过：奥地利学派是马克思经济理论最强大的敌人。有他这句话足矣！来自于敌人的赞美通常是最好的赞美。如果连苏共的理论家都亲口承认“奥地利学派”是马克思经济理论最强的对手，那充分说明：奥地利经济学派的理论对《资本论》构成了严重的威胁。

  • 哈耶克引用了希莱尔·贝洛克的名言："对财富生产的控制，就是对人类生活本身的控制。"
    评述公有制

  • “科斯定理”强调了【产权】的重要性，而公有制企业的问题恰恰就在于【产权不明确】。虽然名义上，公有制企业属于【国家】所有，但【国家】是个抽象概念。“国家充当所有者”就等同于【所有者缺位】。必然的结果就是资源浪费和效率下降。

  • 卡尔·波普尔：尝试创建人间天堂，最终只会创造出地狱。
    The attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell.

  • 列宁好友马克斯·伊斯门对斯大林主义的评价：
    斯大林主义与法西斯主义相比，不是更好，而是更坏，更残酷无情、野蛮、不公正、不道德、反民主、无可救药。
    它最好被称为超级法西斯主义。

  • 考茨基对马克思的著作极为熟悉，关于这点，连他的死对头列宁也不得不承认。列宁曾经评价他：
    不要忘记，考茨基是一个几乎能把马克思著作背得出来的人；从考茨基的一切著作来看，在他的书桌或脑袋里一定有许多小抽屉，把马克思所写的一切东西放得井井有条，引用起来极其方便。

  • 美国前总统里根的名言：
    如何判断什么样的人是共产主义者捏？共产主义者就是那些【阅读】了马克思和列宁著作的人；
    那么，什么样的人是反共产主义者捏？反共产主义者是那些【理解】了马克思和列宁著作的人。
    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin.
    And how do you tell an anti-communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

  • 【产品随想注：需要警惕的言论！】
    【纳粹德国宣传部长戈培尔名言】1.谎言重复千遍就是真理； 2.报纸必须为国家服务；3.报纸的任务就是把统治者的意志传递给被统治者，使他们视地狱为天堂；4.大众传播媒介只能是党的工具；5.宣传的论点须粗犷、清晰和有力；6.谎言要一再传播并装扮得令人相信；7.必须把收音机设计得只能收听德国电台

Interview at the All Things Digital D5 Conference, Steve and Bill Gates spoke with journalists Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg onstage in May 2007.

Kara Swisher: The first question I was interested in asking is what you think each has contributed to the computer and technology industry— starting with you, Steve, for Bill, and vice versa. Steve Jobs: Well, Bill built the first software company in the industry. And I think he built the first software company before anybody really in our industry knew what a software company was, except for these guys. And that was huge. That was really huge. And the business model that they ended up pursuing turned out to be the one that worked really well for the industry. I think the biggest thing was, Bill was really focused on software before almost anybody else had a clue that it was really the software that— KS: Was important? SJ: That’s what I see. I mean, a lot of other things you could say, but that’s the high-order bit. And I think building a company’s really hard, and it requires your greatest persuasive abilities to hire the best ...

Commencement Address at Stanford University--“Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”

I am honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told— I never graduated from college. This is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting...

巴菲特致股东信-1976年

 笔记： 为什么选择轻资产行业：当竞争疯狂时，不会强迫加入降价大战 最终选择了费雪的思想，选择能理解的优秀企业，以合理的价格买入并长期拥有 翻译： 雪球：https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131440258 备份：https://archive.ph/XLK0S 原文： To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, After two dismal years, operating results in 1976 improved significantly. Last year we said the degree of progress in insurance underwriting would determine whether our gain in earnings would be "moderate" or "major." As it turned out, earnings exceeded even the high end of our expectations. In large part, this was due to the outstanding efforts of Phil Liesche's managerial group at National Indemnity Company. In dollar terms, operating earnings came to $16,073,000, or $16.47 per share. While this is a record figure, we consider return on shareholders' equity to be a much more significant yardstick of economic performance. Here our result was 17.3%, moderately above our long-term average and even further above the average o...

巴菲特致股东信-1973年

 笔记： 在上一年度预测的今年竞争加剧导致利润下滑，真的发生了 翻译Link： 雪球：https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131257618 备份：https://archive.ph/KIfdT 原文： To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Our financial results for 1973 were satisfactory, with operating earnings of $11,930,592, producing a return of 17.4% on beginning stockholders' equity. Although operating earnings improved from $11.43 to $12.18 per share, earnings on equity decreased from the 19.8% of 1972. This decline occurred because the gain in earnings was not commensurate with the increase in shareholders' investment. We had forecast in last year's report that such a decline was likely. Unfortunately, our forecast proved to be correct. Our textile, banking, and most insurance operations had good years, but certain segments of the insurance business turned in poor results. Overall, our insurance business continues to be a most attractive area in which to employ capital. Management'...

巴菲特致股东信-1975年

 笔记： 华盛顿邮报已成为伯克希尔第一重仓股 翻译： 雪球：https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131409324 备份：https://archive.ph/4hgK3 原文： To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Last year, when discussing the prospects for 1975, we stated “the outlook for 1975 is not encouraging.” This forecast proved to be distressingly accurate. Our operating earnings for 1975 were $6,713,592, or $6.85 per share, producing a return on beginning shareholders ’ equity of 7.6%. This is the lowest return on equity experienced since 1967. Furthermore, as explained later in this letter, a large segment of these earnings resulted from Federal income tax refunds which will not be available to assist performance in 1976. On balance, however, current trends indicate a somewhat brighter 1976. Operations and prospects will be discussed in greater detail below, under specific industry titles. Our expectation is that significantly better results in textiles, earnings added from recent acquisitio...

Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone on January 9, 2007.

This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for two and a half years. Link Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. And Apple has been— well, first of all, one’s very fortunate if you get to work on just one of these in your career. Apple’s been very fortunate. It’s been able to introduce a few of these into the world. In 1984, we introduced the Macintosh. It didn’t just change Apple, it changed the whole computer industry. In 2001, we introduced the first iPod, and it didn’t just change the way we all listen to music, it changed the entire music industry. Well, today, we’re introducing three revolutionary products of this class. The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. And the third is a breakthrough internet communications device. So, three things: a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough internet communicat...

巴菲特致股东信-1974年

 笔记： 价格战企业的逻辑：需要降价获取销量--->需要降低成本--->怎么降？扩大规模以摊低成本--->提高固定资产投入--->净资产回报率会降低 翻译： 雪球：https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131257947 备份：https://archive.ph/5CEP6 原文： To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Operating results for 1974 overall were unsatisfactory due to the poor performance of our insurance business. In last year's annual report some decline in profitability was predicted but the extent of this decline, which accelerated during the year, was a surprise. Operating earnings for 1974 were $8,383,576, or $8.56 per share, for a return on beginning shareholders' equity of 10.3%. This is the lowest return on equity realized since 1970. Our textile division and our bank both performed very well, turning in improved results against the already good figures of 1973. However, insurance underwriting, which has been mentioned in the last several annual reports as running at levels of unsustainable profitability, turned dramatically worse...

Interview with Steve Jobs, WGBH, 1990

Interviewer: what is it about this machine? Why is this machine so interesting? Why has it been so influential? Jobs: Ah ahm, I'll give you my point of view on it. I remember reading a magazine article a long time ago ah when I was ah twelve years ago maybe, in I think it was Scientific American . I'm not sure. And the article ahm proposed to measure the efficiency of locomotion for ah lots of species on planet earth to see which species was the most efficient at getting from point A to point B. Ah and they measured the kilocalories that each one expended. So ah they ranked them all and I remember that ahm...ah the Condor, Condor was the most efficient at [CLEARS THROAT] getting from point A to point B.
