"We read to know we're not alone."

In this trifling affair， that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events， the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.

最重要的胜利是在最艰难的失败之后取得的。

释义：眼睛随便乱看就会使你惑乱，耳朵随意乱听就会使你迷惑，嘴巴随意胡说就会给你带来乱子。警示人们在日常生活中要保持谨言慎行的态度，以免招来祸患。

译文：古人最忌讳，表面对人顺从，背地里却反对。
