The past is not just the past, but a prism through which the subject filters his own changing self-image.
Don’t wait for the perfect moment; take the moment and make it perfect.
每一项伟大突破最开始都是可笑的、荒谬的。事实上,如果它一开始不是可笑和荒谬的,就不是突破。
I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.
常想到会悔恨终生,就不能不尽孝心;常想到度日的艰难,就不得不节约费用;常想到人的生命脆弱,就不得不珍惜心神;常想到世态人情,就不得不立志奋发;常想到法网恢恢,疏而不漏,就不能让自己胡作非为;常想到生命易失,就不得不忍气耐性。
Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.
