The world is not a wish-granting factory.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Circumstances rule men; men do not rule circumstances.

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.

我们不是从祖先那里继承了地球，而是从子孙那里借来的。

The work of art is a fragment of eternity.
