A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自己
Themselves
None so little enjoy themselves, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do. Only the active have the true relish of life.

I wonder if most people ever ask themselves why love is connected with reproduction. And if they do ask themselves about this, I wonder what answer they give.
我想知道，大多数人是否曾经问过自己，为什么爱情与生育有关。如果他们问自己这个问题，我不知道他们会给出什么答案。

It is a revenge the devil sometimes takes upon the virtuous, that he entraps them by the force of the very passion they have suppressed and think themselves superior to.
这是魔鬼有时对善良的人所采取的一种报复，他以他们所压抑的、自以为高人一等的激情的力量把他们迷住了。

Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.

Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation.

We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass away.

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That's not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that's very, very important.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now.
人们可以尝试重塑自己。我不认为你能真正改变你是谁，尽管，因为你是谁，你从哪里来，你做了什么，直到现在。
