"Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit."
在你合适的年龄读到的故事永远不会完全离开你。你可能会忘记是谁写的或者故事叫什么名字。有时候你会忘记具体发生了什么，但如果一个故事触动了你，它会一直伴随着你，萦绕在你脑海中那些你很少去的地方。
当老人们种下他们知道自己永远不会坐在其下的树时，社会就会变得伟大。
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did.So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. （注：这句说话被部分人质疑不是由马克·吐温所说的。）
真相是，如果你问我关于任何事情的看法，我都会告诉你。我不害怕说出我的想法。
如果你想走得快，独自前行；如果你想走得远，结伴同行。
