One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science， is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness， such men make this cosmos and its construction in the pivot of their emotional life， in ordered to find the peace and the security， which they cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.

A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks， he becomes.

【译文】 孔子说：“外表威严而内心怯懦的人，用小人作比喻，就象挖墙洞的小偷吧！”
