最终，我们记住的不是敌人的话语，而是朋友的沉默。

写作就是把文字刻在时间的肉体上。

"The world is a book, and the book is a prison."

We are the real countries, not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men.

"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."

译文：人生的处境变化无常，我们一定要谋划未来，学习安身立命的本领；人生的光阴容易逝去，我们应该尽早谋划人生，确立目标并付诸行动。赏析：生命有限，时光短暂，我们应早日树立人生目标，学得一技之长，方能立于不败之地。

When people talk to us about others, they are usually dull. When they talk to us about themselves, they are nearly always interesting.

The greatest patriotism is to tell your country when it is behaving dishonorably, foolishly, viciously.
