译文：把读书看成功业，用一生的时间去做，自然就会得到读书带来的乐趣；心存善念，多做善事，不必去争那些乐善好施的虚名。赏析：读书和做善事一样，不必在乎那些功利的想法。读书应该用心，读书的乐趣不是用金钱的多少来衡量的。做好事，只要问心无愧，不必非得让别人知道。

The world owes all its onward impulses to men ill at ease; the happy man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits.

The most difficult thing in painting is to be simple.

我不是对白，我是合唱。
