To tax the larger incomes at a higher percentage than the smaller， is to lay a tax on industry and economy； to impose a penalty on people for having worked harder and saved more than their neighbors.
对较大收入征收较高比例的税收，等于对工作和节俭征收了一项税收；对人们因为工作更努力、储蓄更多而征收罚款。
The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life.
恐惧是迷信的主要根源，也是残酷的主要根源之一。战胜恐惧是智慧的开端。
战争是一件丑陋的事情，但不是最丑陋的事情：道德和爱国情感的腐化和堕落状态认为没有什么事情值得一场战争，这要糟糕得多。
最终，我们记住的不是敌人的话语，而是朋友的沉默。
