译文：聪明用错地方了，不如一辈子愚钝；交友不慎，错交朋友，还不如静下心来读书。赏析：聪明反被聪明误，聪明的才智用在正道，才能凸显它的价值，反之则会贻害无穷。朋友在于精，不在于多，狐朋狗友千千万，不如知己一人。

最好的游戏来自热情，而非算计。

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

We all owe death a life.
