A woman makes a plan—then she makes it happen.

If you don't go through the tough times, you don't get to the good times.

The greatest gift of life is the ability to imagine it otherwise.

译文：读书不管天资高低，只要能不耻下问，勤学苦练，对事事都思考为什么，自然就会有通晓人生道理的那一天。立身处世，不要妄自菲薄，不要嫌弃家世的贫贱，只要能忠厚老成，举止行为不违背道义准则，不做苟且之事，就一定成为乡里人人敬仰的人。赏析：人的天资愚钝不可怕，只要肯下苦功夫，用心领悟，那么终将有一天会明白书中的真理。出身寒微不是耻辱，能屈能伸方为大丈夫。人生在世，要时刻谨记古人流传下来的礼义廉耻，做一个受人敬重的人。

The only thing that is constant is change.

The dead are not lost. They are just out of sight.

亲兄弟不和睦，家产像瓜一样被切开；士大夫爱钱，不读书却追逐钱财。
