独木不成林。 - 每日文摘

大成若缺，其用不弊。大盈若冲，其用不穷。

老子

学会安静地说话，因为言语可能具有欺骗性。

鲁米

百日莫空过，青春不再来。

拜伦

语言是一种皮肤：我用我的语言摩擦对方。就好像我有词语代替手指，或者手指在词语的尖端。

Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tips of my words.

罗兰·巴特

"A good book is a magic gateway into a wider world of wonder, of joy, of meaning."

一本好书是一扇通往更广阔世界的魔法之门，那里充满奇迹、欢乐和意义。

苏珊·帕特隆

外界的事物不会永远地满足你的需求，它们只会暂时地和表面上地满足你，但是你也许要多次体验这些失望后，才能认识到这些事实。

埃克哈特·托利

未来的竞争是生态系统的竞争，单打独斗的时代已经过去。

徐直军

天下熙攘，皆为利来，天下攘攘，皆为利往。

司马迁

大概是由于妇女缺乏冒险的精神，所以她们不像男人那样喜欢证券投机和开矿办企业这类事情。妇女只有到了精神沮丧的时候，才会对赌博性的勾当发生兴趣。

马克吐温

人类不仅有权利，还有义务去追求幸福。

康德

一个女人制定计划——然后她让它成真。

A woman makes a plan—then she makes it happen.

马克·吐温

Wholly unprepared, we embark upon the second half of life. Or are there perhaps colleges for forty-year-olds which prepare them for their coming life and its demands as the ordinary colleges introduce our young people to a knowledge of the world? No, thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.

我们完全手足无措地踏上生命的后半征程。普通大学把年轻人引入知识世界，什么学校能让四十几岁人为未来生活做好准备？没有这种学校，我们完全无备地踏入后半生；而更糟的是，我们假定现实和理想会一如既往地效忠于我们。但实际上，我们不能依照生命之晨，来度过生命之午后，因为晨时的伟大会成为傍晚时的琐碎，而晨时的真理会在傍晚变为谎言。
