Growth will be slower, no one denies that. But the question is: Where are the chances and opportunities now? I see some positive and some negative trends.

Many Chinese entrepreneurs are now donating for education; others support foundations in health care and research. None of us wants to be the richest guy in the cemetery.

Isolation means a lack of growth. I grew up in China at a time when the country was completely isolated. That era is over.

Chinese no longer crave so much for food and accommodation, but they do crave democracy. I stand by that. I don't know which model China will follow.

I think women of our generation went through Cultural Revolution, went through hardship, coming from nowhere, and suddenly see China's amazing opportunity. So women just seized the opportunity.

No one tells us, girls who don't go on dates, that remembering can be almost as good as what actually happens.

Rejection is the run in the pantyhose of life.

It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.

Satanism represents opposition to hypocrisy, every human being feels rage, every human being feels anger, and we feel it is natural to express that anger in a healthy way.

Even in the best times, managing science has been compared to herding cats; it is not done well, but one is surprised to find it done at all.

Prosperity seldom chooses the side of the virtuous.

One piece of advice that always stuck in my mind is that people should be respected and trusted as people, not because of their position or title.

Boy, everyone is stupid except me.

Never forget that your role as a leader is to be a steward for future generations.

That's the authentic punk dance. It's like a child dizzy on lemonade.
