The merit of a quote is that it is concise, incisive, extremely contagious, and easily accepted by the public. But to understand the true meaning of a quote, it also depends on the context and contextual logic.

Quotes are inspiring, but if not understood properly, they are counterproductive. Have you ever heard the famous saying: "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests". This sentence is the best defense of the individual's lack of morality and the supremacy of interests, and it invisibly affects the behavior of believers.
This sentence comes from a speech by the famous British statesman Palmerston, the purpose of which is to hope that everyone will abide by their duties and pursue national interests, rather than isolating everyone from treachery.
这句名言的原话是这样的:“We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests are our duty to follow.” 翻译过来的意思：“我们没有永远的盟友，也没有永远的利益。 我们的利益是永恒不变的。 我们这些人的职责及时为英国谋求这些利益。 ”原本是为国家谋求利益的话，如今被曲解成了背信弃义，唯利是图的通行证。
The merit of a quote is that it is concise, incisive, extremely contagious, and easily accepted by the public. But to understand the true meaning of a quote, it also depends on the context and contextual logic.
There is no one-size-fits-all saying, and by extension, there is no one-size-fits-all truth, and by extension, there is no universal truth, only non-universal truth, and therefore, there is no perfect God. There is only concrete truth, not abstract truth, so the Marxist theory of concrete existence as the core and the position determines consciousness is the real truth. I am a believer in Marxism.
