曹操同志有句名言:设使国家无有孤,不知当几人称帝,几人称王(《让县自明本志令》)。 虽然曹操同志已经去世1790年,但他的光辉思想却能飘洋过海,在异国他乡开花结果,真是“历千万祀,与天壤而同久,共三光而永光”。光辉思想的重要成果之一就是埃及那位领导同志的名言: If I resign today there will be chaos(如果我今天辞职,就会天下大乱)( http://abcnews.go.com/International/egypt-abc-news-christiane-amanpour-exclusive-interview-president/story?id=12833673page=2 ).
