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, was often so excessive that, in pursuing my favourite subject among the meadows, I have sometimes found myself in a kind of reverie.
想到自己可能成为从世界上消除最大灾难之一的工具，同时怀有享受独立、家庭和平与幸福的希望，这种喜悦常常如此强烈，以至于在草地上研究我喜爱的课题时，我有时会陷入一种遐想。
在天堂里，所有有趣的人都缺席。
我相信孩子是我们的未来。好好教导他们，让他们引领道路。
乐观是一种工具，你可以用它来实现你为自己设定的目标。
内在的境遇如果没有进入意识，就会外在地显现为命运。
