一只眼睛的人可以用来看水平仪,有毒的石头可以用来治疗痈疽。
我们完全手足无措地踏上生命的后半征程。普通大学把年轻人引入知识世界,什么学校能让四十几岁人为未来生活做好准备?没有这种学校,我们完全无备地踏入后半生;而更糟的是,我们假定现实和理想会一如既往地效忠于我们。但实际上,我们不能依照生命之晨,来度过生命之午后,因为晨时的伟大会成为傍晚时的琐碎,而晨时的真理会在傍晚变为谎言。
Come,my friends,Tis not too late to seek a newer world,For my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset,And though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven,That which we are, we are;-- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield。
