"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

The perfect decks itself in beauty for the love of the Imperfect.

出自北齐·颜之推《颜氏家训·勉学》。积累财富千万，也胜不过多读些书有用。古代有“书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉”的说法，读好书就能财源滚滚、美女满室。这句话意在强调读书以立世的重要意义。

世界上最好和最美丽的东西是看不见甚至摸不到的——它们必须用心去感受。

"The pursuit of knowledge is the most noble of endeavors."

The historian must be a poet and a philosopher.
