　　--FromLiDazhao:"ThePresentTime"

　　我以为世界上最可宝贵的就是"今"，最易丧失的也是"今"，因为她最容易丧失，所以更觉她的?易丧失，1　∥裁?今"最可贵呢？最好借哲人耶曼孙所说的话来回答这个疑问："你若爱千古，尔当爱现在。昨日不能唤回来，明天还不确实，尔能确有把握的就是今日。今日一天，当明日两天。"

　　为什么"今"最易丧失呢？因为宇宙大化，刻刻流转，绝不停留。时间这个东西，也因为吾人贵她爱她而稍稍在人间留恋。试问吾人说"今"，是吾人的"现在"吗？刚刚说她是"今"是"现在"，而她早已风驰电掣一般，已成"过去"了。吾人若要糊糊涂涂地把她丢掉，岂不可惜？

　　－－引自李大钊著作

　　先生们，今天，据我所知，你们中的许多人对土地感兴趣，而我觉得目前所谓"农业不景气"是个十分严重而又无法忽视的问题。我将就农业不景气的问题说几句，特别是因为在我国一些地方有人提出了一些建议，这些建议所得到的赞扬远远超过了其应得的评价。这些建议的目的在于改变或者损害我们整整一代人为之奋斗的工作，并恢复那种有害的、起阻挠作用的、使农业贫瘠的保护制度。
