有些人是你的亲戚，有些人是你的祖先，你选择你想要的人作为祖先。你从这些价值观中创造了自己。

A great source of calamity lies in regret and anticipation; therefore a person is wise who thinks of the present alone, regardless of the past or future.

灾难的一大根源在于后悔和期待;因此，不管过去或未来如何，一个只考虑现在的人是明智的。

Oliver Goldsmith 奥利弗·戈德史密斯

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

很小程度的希望就足以引起爱的诞生。

Stendhal 司汤达

One of our most costly errors is regarding frustration as an indication of the unreality of our aspirations rather than as a stage to be expected in the progress towards our goal.

我们所犯的代价最大的错误之一是把挫折看作是我们的愿望不现实的一个迹象，而不是朝着我们的目标前进的一个预期阶段。
