翻译：聪明睿智，在于人的修养；默默地成就事业，不必多言就能取信于人，在于人的品德。
"The past is not dead. It is not even past."
写作是为沉默者发声，让不可见的事物显现。
Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.Let freedom reign!
译文：身体没有经历过饥饿和寒冷，就是上天对我最大的恩赐；学业没有进步，我用什么脸面面对苍天呢。赏析：人要懂得感恩知足，没有病痛折磨，没有挨冻受饿，就是人生最大的幸福。学业毫无进步，说明我们懈怠了，不读书，我们就不能获得先贤的思想精髓。
