每一个人都有自己的星星，但其中的含意却因人而异。对旅人而言，星星是向导；对其他人而言，它们只不过是天际中闪闪发光的小东西而已；对学者而言，星星则是一门待解的难题；对我那位商人来说，它们就是财富。不过，星星本身是沉默的。你——只有你——了解这些星星与众不同的含义。
All men have the stars， but they are not the same things for different people。 For some， who are travelers， the stars are guides。 For others they are no more than little lights in the sky。 For others， who are scholars， they are problems。 For my businessman they were wealth。 But all these stars are silent。 You – you alone – will have the stars as no one else has them.
"The truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is."
译文：舍弃他的短处，选取他的长处。
做义事也是这样，能演说的就演说，能讲书的就讲书，能做事的就做事，这样义事才可以成功。
A healthy soul is as important as a healthy body.
鱼是我所喜欢的，熊掌也是我所喜欢的，两种东西不能同时拥有，就舍弃鱼去取得熊掌。生命是我所喜欢的，义也是我所喜欢的，如果两种东西不能同时拥有，就舍弃生命去取得大义。
