从真正意义上说，读过优秀文学作品的人比那些不会或不愿读的人活得更长。我们并不是只有一次生命;如果我们能读书，我们就能过上更多的生活，过上我们想过的各种各样的生活。

By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
通过阅读圣经，我是如此的新生，所有的自然似乎在我周围和我更新。天空似乎一片纯净，一片湛蓝，树木一片翠绿。整个世界充满了上帝的荣耀，我感到脚下有火焰和音乐。
