Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

Love is patient, love is kind
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they…

李金艳: 苦尽甘来 中国农村姑娘成为加拿大法学权威
农村姑娘遇贵人勤学英文
在市北一个宁静宽敞的房舍里，李教授(Professor Jinyan Li)接受笔者的访谈，她是一位谦虚而自信的学者专家，在加拿大法学界的知名度甚高，但相信在大陆移民以外的华人社区，知道她的人并不多。她从来就没想过要与知名度打交道，但是一位「红枫传奇」人物一再恳请，希望将她奋斗的故事与年轻一代华人分享，她几经考虑终於答应。
根据一位校友所撰的一篇访问稿「投向远方的标枪」文中所述，李金艳不但学习方面很有成绩，体育运动方面也很有天赋，她在中学时就被选入体育运动队，曾经创下北京外贸学院女子标枪和铁饼两项的纪录。
60年代大陆农村的教育环境相对较差，英文教学的师资和设备更是不足，李金艳到高中时对英文还是知之甚少。她後来英文学得这麽好，倒是一个奇遇。据说：李遇到「贵人」，当时她所就读的中学操场边上有个猪栏，负责养猪的是一位老先生，谈吐不俗，气质高雅，李金艳帮着他喂猪，老先生看这位来自农村的姑娘善良聪慧，原来这位长者是美国耶鲁大学毕业的知识份子，文革中被打成反动学术权威，此时正在涿县农村接受劳动改造。这一老一少成了忘年之交，她帮老先生喂猪，老先生教李金艳学英文，1980年高考，李金艳的英文成绩名列河北省最高分。
