事实是顽固的东西；无论我们的愿望、倾向或激情的驱使如何，它们都无法改变事实和证据的状态。
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
The lightning that precedes the thunder is a common image of the warnings that come before calamity.
愚人总能找到更愚的人崇拜他。
一个人的出身并不重要，重要的是他成长为什么样的人。
