权力掌握在年轻人手里，是个灾难；因为年轻人爱国，盲目。权力掌握在老年人手里，是另一个灾难；因为老年人爱国，自以为是。那么谁，应该掌握权力，那些实事求是的官员，将会是最好的选择。
- Power in the hands of young people is a disaster; because young people love their country, blindly. Power in the hands of old people is another disaster; because old people love their country, self-righteous. So who should hold power, those pragmatic officials, will be the best choice.
