Nobody has things just as he would like them. The thing to do is to make a success with what material I have. It is a sheer waste of time and soul-power to imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different.

  • -- Frank Crane 弗兰克·克兰

没有人拥有他想要的东西。我要做的就是用我所有的材料取得成功。想象如果事情不一样,我会怎么做,这纯粹是浪费时间和精神力量。他们没有什么不同。
