人生的吉福与凶祸，是上天主宰的；人事的毁誉和予夺，是别人操持的；自身的言行和道德，是由我决定的。
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.
Don't be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.
Always take the high road, it's far less crowded.
