只有浅薄的人才了解自己，原文：Onlytheshallowknowthemselves。

凡是对真理没有虔诚的热烈的敬意的人，绝对谈不到良心，谈不到崇高的生命，谈不到高尚。

"A great story is one that lingers in the mind long after the last page is turned."

The life history of the individual is first and foremost an accommodation to the patterns and standards traditionally handed down in his community.

个体的生命历程首先是对其社区传统传承下来的模式和标准的适应。

鲁思·本尼迪克特

如果你很在意自己在别人眼里是否值得信赖是否聪明睿智，那么说话时就言简意赅吧，能用简单句的时候就别用复杂句。

At that age， I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details， but basically the ad said， every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate， I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days， estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number， I poked my head into the front of the car， tapped my grandmother on the shoulder， and proudly proclaimed， "At two minutes per puff， you've taken nine years off your life！"

在那样的年纪，我会找任何借口做些估测或者小算术。我会计算油耗还有杂货花销等鸡毛蒜皮的小事。我听过一个有关吸烟的广告。我记不得细节了，但是广告大意是说，每吸一口香烟会减少几分钟的寿命，大概是两分钟。无论如何，我决定为祖母做个算术。我估测了祖母每天要吸几支香烟，每支香烟要吸几口等等，然后心满意足地得出了一个合理的数字。接着，我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的头，又拍了拍她的肩膀，然后骄傲地宣称，"每天吸两分钟的烟，你就少活九年！"

杰夫·贝索斯

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

真正的记忆艺术是注意力的艺术。

天下没有十全十美的事，这种事可遇而不可求，多想无益。

亦舒

属于人民的人为了的理想而死去，他们牺牲了自己。可是派他们去牺牲的人却为了自己的利益而活着。结果利益比理想的寿命更长。

如果机会对你有利，你应该在可执行的范围内做出尽可能多的决定。

我不喜欢输，但这是比赛的一部分。重要的是你如何恢复。

I don’t like to lose, but it’s part of the game. What matters is how you recover.
