To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.

The more I paint, the more I discover myself.

我们认为正确的事情有时会被证明是错误的，而我们认为是错误的事情有时会被证明是正确的。

过去总是紧张的，未来是完美的。

译文：待人处世柔软能立身，过于刚强能惹灾祸。赏析：人过刚则易折，过柔则易弯。柔弱不是懦弱，是对世事的利害把控。人过于刚强，就会处处破壁。我们要把握好刚与柔的尺度，过于柔弱就会受人欺负，过于刚强就会招致祸患。

最重要的是做自己并享受乐趣。

I do not know what I may appear to the world， but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore， and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary， whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

The historian is a prophet in reverse.
