Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

谚语

古德里安说过闪电战缺点是：若遭遇占物量优势的敌军，而他们又能集中运用，则闪电战的攻势一样会被击败。

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. Then a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time.Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

我无时无刻不对自己的所作所为深感内疚，这不是因为我在这里（监狱），也不是讨好你们（假释官）。回首曾经走过的弯路，我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么，告诉他我现在的感受，告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是，我做不到了。那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里，只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人？骗人罢了！小子，别再浪费我的时间了，盖你的章吧，我没有什么可说的了。

弗兰克·德拉邦特

每当家像一个概念浮现于我的记忆之上，它的颜色是深沉的。

汪曾祺

Good can exist without evil， whereas evil cannot exist without good.

善可以存在于没有恶的情况下，而恶无法在没有善的情况下存在。

托马斯·阿奎那

要知道一个人的底细，应该先知道他自己。

莎士比亚

聪明人说话，是因为有些话要说；蠢人说话，则因为要说些话。

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, becasue they have to say something.

柏拉图

探读——白手起家的难度要远低于白丁当官的难度。前者是服务别人，后者是标准化别人。
