It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling.

The most dangerous poison is the feeling of achievement. The antidote is to think every morning, 'What can be done better?'

在有地位的人面前不要诉说自己的卑贱，否则他会认为在要求他推荐。在富有的人面前不要说自己的贫困，否则他会认为在求他可怜。
