宁可一人受苦，不使民族悲伤。

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all doing direct the other way.

"To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright."

Every observation brings us closer to answering fundamental questions about the cosmos.

译文：世俗风气之所以狡诈的人很多，到最后只有忠厚正直的人才能立得住脚；社会风气都以奢侈浮华为上，但最后还是觉得平淡安静的日子才更耐人寻味。赏析：做事就是做人。狡诈的行为虽然可以赢得一时的信任，但最后还是忠厚之人获得永久的尊重。历经人世繁华，方知平淡最真。

过去从未死去，它甚至不是过去。
