The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.
The friendship of a gentleman is light as water; the friendship of a small person is sweet as honey.
"Books are the mirrors that reflect our dreams."
译文:像许汜那样只知道买田置房(追求个人私利),恐怕会羞于见到雄才大略的刘备。可惜时光流逝,我在风雨飘摇中担惊受怕,连树木都已长得粗壮高大!(注:“树犹如此”  化用典故,感慨时光虚度)能请谁唤来歌女,用红巾翠袖擦拭我这英雄失意的泪水?
Liberty is the only thing worth fighting for.
