Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.

  • -- Ralph Waldo Emerson 拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生

不要把生命浪费在怀疑和恐惧中;把你自己花在你面前的工作上,充分肯定正确地履行这一小时的职责将是为随后的几个小时和几岁做好的最好准备。
