生活没有绝对的失败和成功，关键在于我们对待成功和失败的态度。

酒是烧身硝焰，气是无烟火药。

冯梦龙

凡为古文，必推原前代之意，以自见其学。

凡是创作古文，必须推究前代文章的本意，以此展现自己的学问。

方苞

我的处世之道是：看透最傻的事，敬而远之。如此生活，我不能让自己成为一个受欢迎的人，但是我能对许多麻烦做到防患未然。

查理·芒格

未来关我什么事？谢顿必定早已预见，也早就准备好锦囊妙计。当金钱的力量像如今的宗教一样过气时，自然还会有其他危机出现。我已经解决了当前的难题，再有新的问题，就留给那些继任者吧。

艾萨克·阿西莫夫

我认为我们已经经历了一个时期，太多的人被引导去理解，如果他们有问题，这是政府的工作来应对它。“我有一个问题，我会获得补助。”“我无家可归，政府必须给我住房。”他们把问题抛给社会。而且，你知道，没有社会这种东西。只有个人男性和女性以及家庭。除了通过人民，政府什么也做不了，而人民必须首先照顾自己。照顾自己是我们的责任，然后，也要照顾我们的邻居。人们太过于考虑权利，而忽视了义务。

I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.
