The joy I felt at the prospect before me of being the instrument destined to take away from the world one of its greatest calamities, blended with the fond hope of enjoying independence and domestic peace and happiness, often occupied my whole mind.
我因展望未来而感受到的喜悦——成为注定从世界上消除最大灾难之一的工具，与享受独立、家庭和平与幸福的殷切希望交织在一起，常常占据了我的整个心灵。
如果你不前进，你就在落后。
我就在繁星中的一颗上生活。我会站在其中的一颗星星上微笑。当你在夜间仰望天际时，就仿佛每一颗星星都在笑……你——只有你——才能拥有会笑的星星……
