"A poet is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him."

人们会朝着发光发亮的东西扔小石子，但是他们夺不走那些属于我们的东西生活会让爱看上去异常的艰难风险是这样的高，水也是这样的汹涌。但是，爱，依旧是我们的。

The great and chief end, therefore, of men's uniting into commonwealths, and putting themselves under government, is the preservation of their property.

想治理国家，首先要先去治民。治民要先正己，做好治家的工作，把自家子弟教育好了，自己就会以身作则；只有做到先正自己，才能在治民方面起到带头作用。只有先做好自己，才能为别人带好头和榜样；只有先身体力行才能有好作用榜样示范作用。这才是真正有意义的治理国家的好方法。只有先立好自己的身才能对社会起到好的表率作用。

I don't think you can ever do your best. Doing your best is a process of trying to do your best.

The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it.

I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.

少即是乏味。
