每个政府的衰败都始于其建立时的原则的腐化。
Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.
风险不在于我们目标太高而失败，而在于我们目标太低而成功。
译文：对待亲戚族人刻薄寡恩的人，一定培养不出好儿孙，对待师长刻薄寡恩的人，一定培养不出好后代。赏析：对待任何人，我们都不能尖酸刻薄。说话带刺，做事冷酷的人处处树敌，处处示强，是很难有知心朋友的。处处伤害别人的人，内心没有一点怜悯同情之心，是无法培养出品行端正的子孙后代。
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
