傲慢的人突然显达，上天也会惩罚他；疏漏放纵的人，努力求进取，上天也会宽容他的行为。

生活是关于旅程，而不是目的地。

Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.

Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.

I'm not afraid to be myself, even if it means being different.
