功者难成而易败，时者难得而易失。
译文：事业很难成功却很容易失败，时机非常难得却容易失去。赏析：没有人能随随便便成功。成功不光要有坚韧不拔的意志，还要找对方向，付出百倍甚至千倍的努力。成功的时机也很重要，抓住时机能事半功倍。
世界历史可以这样总结：强国总行不义。等到他们醒悟了，他们不已经不再强了。
The novel is the great art form of the human condition.
我不让别人定义我是谁。
为别人浪费的一天并不是为自己浪费的一天。
赏析：指出知道满足的人不会被利益所累，真正安闲自得的人不会因为失去而恐惧，注重内心修养的人不会因为没有地位而惭愧。
真相并不总是答案。
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Success is measured not just by profit, but by positive impact.
The best artworks are those that disappear into life.
