我敢说,没有什么比阅读更令人愉悦了!人们对任何事物的厌倦都比不上一本书来得慢。
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else. Men’s happiness or misery is most part of their own making. He, whose mind directs not wisely, will never take the right way; and he, whose body is crazy and feeble, will never be able to advance in it.
【译文】《诗经》三百零五篇,用一句话概括它的全部内容,可以说是:思想纯洁,没有邪恶的东西。
生活是一系列自然和自发的变化。不要抗拒它们;那只会带来悲伤。让现实成为现实。让事物以它们喜欢的方式自然流动。
You have to be willing to take risks. If you’re not, you’re not going to make money.
