Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.

"The world was hers for the reading."

解释：看到乱子出现，若不警惕，损失就会更多；如果想掩饰自己的过错，只会使过错更加明显地表露出来。

You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

But there is no such liberty as the power to dispose of what we please.

译文：教育小孩子应当严厉对待，严厉的态度能平定孩子心中的浮躁之气；对待小人应当用敬待的态度，敬待的态度可以感化其心中的邪气，即使感化不了，也可使自己免于被其所害。
