"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths."

Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the objet of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have cought happiness without dreaming of it.

安逸是智慧的危害；胆怯是勇敢的仇敌。

When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.

我不是榜样...仅仅因为我会唱歌并不意味着我应该抚养你的孩子。
