I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.

梦想不会自己实现，除非你付诸行动。

刻苦读书，即使功名未就，但使人品高雅，气度不凡；道德高尚，但不希图报答，时时恬然自安，饱食酣眠。
