When someone tells you about the peak year of human history， the period of time when things were good before things went downhill， it will always be the years of when they were 10 years sold — which is the peak of any human’s existence.

The past is never truly past until it has been fully understood.

I'm not a beginning, I'm an end.

永远不要停止学习；当你认为自己无所不知的那天，就是你开始落后的那天。

The sculptor must search with passionate intensity for the hidden significance of life.

Never outshine the master. Always make those above you feel comfortably superior.

译文：做任何事不要都委托给他人，必须要身体力行，只有这样才能获得成功。做任何事不要固执己见，必须要多听从各种意见，才能避免后面出现的艰难。赏析：不管别人说事情是困难还是容易，自己不去亲身实践，永远都无法得出公正客观的结论。别人的经验不一定可靠，遇事要动脑思考，自己去尝试才行。做事前多听别人好的建议，对我们的行为肯定是有帮助的，只是我们不要盲从，要理性分析判断。

The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.
