末日前夕

No artist of performer can entirely escape the lure of fame and its promise of endless admiration and respect, but there is a heavy price one must pay for it. 沒有一位藝術家或表演家能完全逃避榮譽的引誘,榮譽給他們帶來無窮的讚揚和崇敬,但他們要付出的代價也是非常昂貴的。

The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it. 偉人的聲譽永遠應以他們如何得到它來衡量。

The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is. 一個人感到羞恥的事越多,他就越體面。

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. 講理的人使自己適應世界,不講理的人堅持要世界適應自己。

The emotional differences exist, at least, between the genders. 男女至少在情緒上存在差異。

Two men look out through the same bars: one sees the mud, and one the stars. 兩個人從同一柵欄望出去,一個人看見了泥濘,另一個人看見了星星。

When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declared that it is his duty. 當一個笨人做一件使他感到羞恥的事,他總宣稱他在執行任務。

All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it. 人都會犯錯誤,在許多情況下,大多數仍是由於欲望或興趣的引誘而犯錯誤的。

學會寬容意味你的成長

Character is what you are in the dark. 暗處最能反映一個人真正品格。

Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount. 勇氣是一架梯子,其他美德全靠它爬上去。

人生就像一座山,重要的不是它的高低,而在於靈秀;人生就像一場雨,重要的不在於它的大小,而在於及時。

Distrust can be contagious. But, so can trust. 不信任有傳染性,但是信任也如此

I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after. 我只知道所謂道德是指你事後覺得好的東西,所謂不道德是指你事後覺得不好的東西

If you would convince others, you seem open to conviction yourself. 要說服別人,先得說服自己。

Morality is the custom of one's country; cannibalism is moral in a cannibal country. 道德是一個人所在國家的風俗習慣;在吃人的國家裡,吃人是合乎道德的。

Mutual forgiveness of each vice, such are the gates of Paradise. 相互寬容對方的缺點,乃是通向天堂之門。

Wherever true valor is found, true modesty will there abound.真正的勇敢,都包含謙虛

A great poem is a fountain forever overflowing with the waters of wisdom and delight.偉大的詩篇即是永遠噴出智慧和歡欣之水的噴泉

A poet is born , not made.詩人靠天分,不是靠培養

Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.一個借著引經據典來辯論的人,不是在運用自己的才智,他是在運用自己的記憶力
