生活中最伟大的荣耀不在于从不跌倒,而在于每次跌倒后都能站起来。
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
如果我比别人看得更远,那是因为我站在巨人的肩上。
