The best fruits come from patience, care, and respect for nature's timing.

Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis.

To understand the future, one must first understand the past.

那一天，不知什么原因，我决定出去跑一趟，所以我跑到路的尽头。当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑到城边；而当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑遍绿茵县；这时我想既然我跑了那么远，也许我可以跑遍亚拉巴马州。我就这么做了。我横越整个亚拉巴马，不知什么原因，我继续跑，我一直跑到大海；当我到达那里，我想既然我跑了那么远，也许不如掉头继续跑，然后当我跑到另一个大海；我想既然我跑了那么远，我也许不如掉头，继续跑下去。当我累了，我就睡觉；当我饿了，我就吃饭；当我想去…你知道…我就去。
