A novel is a map of a place that doesn’t exist, but feels real.
小说是一张不存在之地的地图,但感觉真实。
The statesman, who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention but assume an authority which could safely be trusted, not only to no single person, but to no council or senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.
不要让任何人减弱你的光芒。
你能做的最好的投资就是投资自己。
【译文】 叶公问子路:孔子是怎样的人,子路不回答。孔子说:“你怎么不说:他这个人啊,发愤学习就忘记吃饭,高兴起来就忘记了忧愁,不知道快要变老了等等?”
