The proper education of the young does not consist in stuffing their heads with a mass of words, sentences, and ideas dragged together out of various authors, but in opening up their understanding to the outer world.
对年轻人的适当教育不在于将大量从不同作者那里拖来的词语、句子和想法塞进他们的头脑,而在于打开他们对外部世界的理解。
真相总是比我们想象的更复杂。
"The camera sees more than the eye, but understands less."
做官的人应为肩负天下重任而养身,而不是为私家小利惜身。省却嗜好欲念,减除烦恼忧虑,戒除愤怒,节制饮食,这就是养身。计较得失利益,规避辛劳哀怨,营造住宅房舍,以妻子儿女为重,这就是惜身。养生的人,不妄为而大方;惜身的人,腥膻而琐碎。
当我走出囚室、迈过通往自由的监狱大门时,我已经清楚,自己若不能把悲痛与怨恨留在身后,那么我其实仍在狱中。
I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing.
