No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.

未来就是永恒再加一天。

Investors should be skeptical of anyone who claims to have a surefire way to beat the market.

译文：奢侈无度可以让家业衰败，过于吝啬也可以让家业衰败；过于愚笨可以坏事，精明过于也可以坏事。赏析：挥霍无度，浪费钱财，过分追求物质享受，再多的家产也可以被败光，而过分吝啬，不懂得散财，不懂得让金钱为我所用，再多的家产都无法产生价值。只会赚钱，不会用钱，金钱将失去意义；只会用钱，不会赚钱，金钱无处可来。人如果愚钝不开，就不会明白世间的道理，做事毫无章法，自然难以成事；而人过于精明，不懂得收敛锋芒，处处要占上风，处处算计别人，做事也难以成功。
