幼而学者,如日出之光;老而学者,如秉烛夜行,犹贤乎瞑目而无见者也。
出自北齐·颜之推《颜氏家训·勉学篇》。秉,持、拿。犹,还。贤乎,胜于。少年时代就好学,就像是早上初升的太阳之光;老来才知道虚心向学,就像是拿着蜡烛走在暗夜中。尽管如此,还是比闭着眼睛什么也看不到要强多了。意在鼓励人们时刻不忘学习上进,如果错过学习的最佳时机,努力追补,仍然是精神可嘉的表现。
You are your best thing.

"What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better."
