出自先秦《荀子·劝学》。定居一定要选择适当的邻里，交游一定要接近贤士。说明要加强道德修养，就应该注意周围环境。

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."

译文：做事情一定要切实认真，不要有浮躁之气，做人一定不能贪图没有实际用处的名声。赏析：做事要静心耐得住寂寞，方能成功，做人不要在乎虚名，虚名只会让我们迷失方向。

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone. That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.

释义：善于运用自己的才能，才能实现财富的积累。这句话强调才能与财富的关系，提醒人们要充分发挥自身优势。
