奋斗这一件事是自有人类以来天天不息的。 - 每日文摘

成功不需要天才或远见，只需要坚持。

You don't have to be a genius or a visionary to succeed. You just need to be persistent.

索菲·威尔逊

疾病能够消除这些世俗之爱赖以存在的各种外在条件，从而使这两者之间的差别变得快速而残酷地明显。

阿兰·德波顿

你不会因为避免错误而致富，而是通过发现自己的优势、建立自己的自信获得财富。

博多·舍费尔

The more you learn, the more you know, the more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So why bother to learn?

学得越多，知道得越多；知道得越多，忘记得越多；忘记得越多，知道得越少。那么，为什么要学习呢？

钱钟书

书海茫茫，字潮滚滚，纸页喧嚣，墨色迷蒙，这是市场化、多元化的现代文化景观，我们企盼了多年的，不要企盼来了却手足无措，抱怨不迭。解除过度的防范敏感，降低高昂的争辩意识，减少无谓的笔墨官司，让眼睛习惯杂色，让耳朵习惯异音，不太习惯就少看少听。一切自己做主，看一点悦目的，吸几口新鲜的，尝几味可口的，稍感不适就轻步离去，我没有义务必须接收我不想接收的一切，哪怕有人直呼姓名在门口喊阵也关窗拉帘，闭目养神，顺手打开柴可夫斯基或瞎子阿炳。人们都说身处现代社会必须学得敏锐和迅捷，我却主张加一份木讷和迟钝。人生几何？好不容易碰到一个比较正经的年代，赶快省下精神来做点自己想做的事，哪里还有时间陪着陌生人胡乱折腾？门外的风，天边的云，一阵去了一阵来，当不得认真，哪怕这些风这些云是白纸黑字组成的，也是一样。

余秋雨

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times;it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness;it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity;it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness;it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair;we had everything before us, we had nothing before us;we were all going direct to Heaven,we were all going direct the other way.

这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代；这是信仰的时代，也是怀疑的时代；这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；这是希望的春天，也是绝望的冬天；我们什么都有，也什么都没有；我们正走向天堂之路，也正走向地狱之门。

狄更斯

历史的终结将是一个非常悲伤的时刻。为了纯粹抽象的目标而愿意冒生命危险的认可斗争，呼唤出勇敢、勇气、想象力和理想主义的全球意识形态斗争，将被经济计算、无休止的技术问题解决、环境关注和复杂消费者需求的满足所取代。

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
