It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all doing direct the other way.

Never give up on your dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem.

人通过克服困难而变得强大。

The most profound truths are often the ones we overlook.

Psychology should study how the mind works, not just what it contains.

译文：贤明的人如果长辈给自己留了太多的财产，则损害他的志向而变得不思进取；愚笨的人如果长辈给其留了太多的财产，则使其更加肆无忌惮使他的错误犯得更深更多。
