Why do we frequently look back to the past, and why must we cling to the remnants of memory to avoid contradicting views we have once stated publicly? Even if those were fallacies you must refute, what then? It is evident that even in the "act" of pure memory, one cannot rely solely on memory itself, but should judge past events in the present under public scrutiny, continuously redeeming and renewing oneself from then on—this is the path of true wisdom.
Stupid compromise and equivocation are the tricks of petty men, widely revered by insignificant politicians, philosophers, and theologians.
Today, we must speak our thoughts of today with certainty, and tomorrow, we must express the opinions of tomorrow with equal certainty, even if they are diametrically opposed to today's views. "Oh, you will surely be misunderstood!" Is being misunderstood truly undesirable? Pythagoras was misunderstood, as were Socrates, Luther, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, and every living, breathing spirit of wisdom in history. Who among them has not suffered from misunderstanding? To become a great figure, one is inevitably destined to be misunderstood.
People are often cowardly and apologetic; they dare not directly say "I think" or "I am," but instead cite the words of saints and sages. Even facing a blade of grass or a rose, they feel guilty. They may be absorbed in longing for the future or weighed down by recollections of the past. In reality, the origins of virtue and vitality follow no rules and are impossible to know. Why must you spy on others' tracks, mimic their appearances, or obey their commands? Your actions, thoughts, and character should be entirely novel and distinct.
我们为何要频频回顾过去，又何必为了不与曾经在大庭广众下陈述过的观点相抵触，而纠缠于记忆的残骸之中？即便那是你必须反驳的谬论，又当如何？显而易见，即便是在纯粹的记忆“行为”中，你也无法仅依赖记忆力，而应将往事置于众人审视的当下进行判断，并从此不断自我救赎与更新——这才是真正的智慧之道。
愚蠢的妥协和和稀泥是小人的伎俩，这种行径深受渺小的政治家、哲学家和神学家的推崇。
我们今天应当确切地表达今天的思想，明天则应确切地阐明明天的见解，即使它与今日的观点截然相反。“哎呀，这样你肯定会被误解！”——难道被误解是坏事吗？毕达哥拉斯曾被误解，苏格拉底、路德、哥白尼、伽利略、牛顿，以及古今每一个有血有肉的智慧灵魂，谁未曾遭受误解？若要成为伟人，遭受误解便是不可避免的宿命。
人往往懦弱且习惯道歉；他们不敢直白地表达“我想”或“我是”，而是搬弄圣人智者的言论；面对一片草叶或一朵玫瑰，他们也会感到愧疚。他们或许沉迷于未来的向往，或许被过往的回忆所拖累；其实，美德与生命力的源泉毫无定规，难以捉摸；你何必窥探他人的轨迹，模仿他人的模样，听从他人的命令——你的行为、思想与品格应当全然新颖独特。
"Do not pin your dreams on someone else."
"Eagles fly alone, but sheep flock together."
"When my mother was absent, I had to earn money on my own to support the household and myself."
"In the adult world, there is no eternal support; your strongest anchor is your effort and independence."
"As long as you truly stand up on your own, no external pressure can crush you."
