A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事情
Thing
It's very trying on a marriage when you're doing a one hour show, week after week after week. You don't have enough time for people that maybe you should have top priority.
当你一周又一周地做一个小时的节目时,婚姻是非常痛苦的。你没有足够的时间和你应该优先考虑的人在一起。
The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.
我喜欢我的身体是因为它很强壮。我可以在我的公寓里搬家具。我会骑马……我会打篮球。这是一台运转良好的机器。
War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.

It is one of the most saddening things in life that, try as we may, we can never be certain of making people happy, whereas we can almost always be certain of making them unhappy.
这是生活中最令人悲伤的事情之一,尽管我们尽了最大的努力,但我们永远不能肯定能让人们幸福,而我们几乎总是能肯定能让他们不幸福。
I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.

You know, that's kind of the thing, I can't freestyle and I used to always wonder why I couldn't, and when I would try once out of every six months, but I was always a great writer!

My father died. It is still a deep regret to me this day that in choosing acting as my career I was forced to hurt him. He died too early to see I had done the right, the only thing.

Language is a living thing. We can feel it changing. Parts of it become old: they drop off and are forgotten. New pieces bud out, spread into leaves, and become big branches, proliferating.
语言是有生命的东西。我们能感觉到它的变化。它的一部分会变老:它们会脱落并被遗忘。新碎片发芽,蔓延到叶子,成为大树枝,增殖。

I've seen a lot of highs and a lot of lows with this team, and one thing I've learned is that even though you have lows, you're not going to have them forever, so you've got to keep fighting.
