It doesn't matter what your background is or where you come from, if you have dreams and goals, that's all that matters.

无论你的背景如何或来自哪里，只要你有梦想和目标，这才是最重要的。

塞雷娜·威廉姆斯

Wholly unprepared, we embark upon the second half of life. Or are there perhaps colleges for forty-year-olds which prepare them for their coming life and its demands as the ordinary colleges introduce our young people to a knowledge of the world? No, thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.

我们完全手足无措地踏上生命的后半征程。普通大学把年轻人引入知识世界，什么学校能让四十几岁人为未来生活做好准备？没有这种学校，我们完全无备地踏入后半生；而更糟的是，我们假定现实和理想会一如既往地效忠于我们。但实际上，我们不能依照生命之晨，来度过生命之午后，因为晨时的伟大会成为傍晚时的琐碎，而晨时的真理会在傍晚变为谎言。

你们是被惯性所引导，还是追随自己内心的热情？

Will inertia be your guide， or will you follow your passions？

杰夫·贝索斯

青年人啊，热爱理想吧，崇敬理想吧。理想是上帝的语言。高于一切国家和全人类的，是精神的王国，是灵魂的故乡。

朱塞佩·马志尼

先达之人可尊也，不可比媚。

周希陶

她起初倒觉得不安，仿佛下楼的时候踏空了一级似的，心上异常怔忪，后来也就惯了。

张爱玲

她的举案齐眉不是一种谄媚、依附或者屈从，它是一种主动的、积极的、甚至是光明的交流与沟通。在夫妻间，这种相互沟通、相互尊重，甚至是相互迎合，是最好的幸福添加剂。
