"We live our lives as a tale that is told."

保持谦逊，保持渴望

The more you know yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

释义：人必须在现实事务中进行磨练，才能立定脚跟，无论外界是月朗风清还是狂风骤雨，都能保持内心平静坚定。

Architecture should not speak, but whisper to the human soul.

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

金钱从来不会捉弄人，它只是使他们变得显赫。
