"There is no substitute for books in the life of a child."

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."

事情过后议论别人，身在局外议论局内人，是做学问的人最容易犯的毛病。在事后议论别人，往往将聪明人说得极其愚笨；身在局外议论局内的人，往往将困难的事情说得极其容易，这两种毛病都是由待人不忠诚、不宽容而引起的。

"Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much."

Believe in yourself even when no one else does.
