“ A man never speaks of himself without losing something. What he says in his disfavor is always believed, but when he commends himself, he arouses mistrust. 谈到自己,一个人总会失去一些东西。人们总是相信他说的对自己不利的话,但当他自我表扬时,却引起了人们的不信任。 Michel de Montaigne 蒙塔尼米歇尔
“ Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. 对于大多数人来说,他们认定自己有多幸福,就有多幸福。 Abraham Lincoln 亚伯拉罕·林肯
“ Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier. 在漫长的一天结束后,只要知道有一本好书在等着你,那一天就会更快乐。 Kathleen Norris 凯瑟琳·诺里斯
