我热爱生活，上帝赋予我什么样的生命我就开发什么样的生活。

Reality is not what happens to us, but what we do with what happens to us.

现实并非发生在我们身上的事，而是我们如何处理那些发生的事。

白居易

Wholly unprepared, we embark upon the second half of life. Or are there perhaps colleges for forty-year-olds which prepare them for their coming life and its demands as the ordinary colleges introduce our young people to a knowledge of the world? No, thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.

我们完全手足无措地踏上生命的后半征程。普通大学把年轻人引入知识世界，什么学校能让四十几岁人为未来生活做好准备？没有这种学校，我们完全无备地踏入后半生；而更糟的是，我们假定现实和理想会一如既往地效忠于我们。但实际上，我们不能依照生命之晨，来度过生命之午后，因为晨时的伟大会成为傍晚时的琐碎，而晨时的真理会在傍晚变为谎言。

荣格

奕秋往矣，伯牙往矣，千百世之下，止存遗谱，似不能尽有益于人。唯诗文字画，足为传世之珍，垂名不朽。总之身后名，不若生前酒耳。

陈继儒

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any society, because it seeks to turn other ideas — uncertainty, progress, change — into crimes.

神圣的观念在任何社会中都是最保守的观念之一，因为它试图将其他观念——不确定性、进步、变化——变成罪行。

萨尔曼·鲁西迪

卑鄙小人总是忘恩负义的：忘恩负义原本就是卑鄙的一部分。

雨果

喷泉的高度不会超过它的源头；一个人的事业也是这样，他的成就绝不会超过自己的信念。

奥格·曼狄诺

领导力就是做出艰难的决定并坚持到底。

Leadership is about making tough decisions and standing by them.
