The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.

  • -- Robert Louis Stevenson 罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森

生命中最美好的东西离你最近:鼻孔里的气息,眼里的光芒,脚下的鲜花,手中的责任,正前方的道路。那么,就不要贪图天上的星星了,只管去做生活中平凡而平凡的工作吧,要坚信日常的工作和面包是生活中最甜蜜的东西。
