The poet is the guardian of silence.

信仰是伟大的逃避，是逃避思考和评估证据需要的伟大借口。

孤独对伟大的灵魂和恶人都有好处。

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.

要选择行动的一生，而不是炫耀的一生。

Golf is a game of inches. The most important are the six inches between your ears.

译文：假如你命中富贵荣华，也要常常有不得意的想法；假如你碰到境遇顺利，也要常常有不如意的念头；假如眼前的你吃穿丰足，也要保持节俭不忘贫困；假如别人都很喜欢你，也要常常怀着谨慎的想法；假如你家世名望都很高，也要常怀着谦虚卑下之心；假如你的学问非常高深，也要提醒自己掌握的还不够多。
