The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are the most powerful stories of all.
【译文】穷人住在闹市也无人理睬，富人住在深山也会招来远房亲戚。有哪个人背后不被别人议论，哪个人在人前不议论他人?给钱就说真话，不给钱就不说真话。不信你到筵席上看看，哪杯酒不先敬有钱的人?热闹繁华的地方有钱可赚，偏僻幽静的地方宜于安身。
"The power of a story is in its ability to inspire courage."
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
