译文：清贫的生活，对读书人来说，就是顺境；节俭的日子，对种田人来说，就是丰收的年岁。赏析：读书要耐得住寂寞。清贫的生活能排除浮华奢糜之事，否则只会扰乱身心与学业。节俭是良好的美德，也是人类生存之需要。如果平常俭约，有所积蓄，即使是收成很差，也能丰衣足食。假如不懂得节俭，泿费粮食，即使年年丰收，也会缺衣少食。

写作是一种记忆的形式。

了解上帝的伟业，理解祂的智慧、威严和力量；在一定程度上欣赏祂律法的奇妙运作，这一切必然是对至高者的一种愉悦和可接受的崇拜方式，对祂来说，无知不会比知识更令人感激。

You can’t be afraid to fail. It’s the only way you succeed.

The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.

Hard work and perseverance are the keys to turning dreams into reality.
