A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
利润
Profit
What would it profit thee to be the first Of echoes, tho thy tongue should live forever, A thing that answers, but hath not a thought As lasting but as senseless as a stone.
你的舌头虽然能回答，却没有像石头那样长久，那样没有意义的思想。
Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make it work and produce for you. Think of things not as they are but as they might be. Don't merely dream - but create!
让你想到的每一个想法，每一个事实，都能给你带来收益。让它为你工作和生产。不要想事情的本来面目，而要想事情可能的本来面目。不要只是梦想，而是创造!
As a consequence, progress has come to mean simply more power, more profit, more productivity, more paper prosperity, all of which are convertible into standards concerned only with size or magnitude rather than quality or excellence.
因此，进步仅仅意味着更大的权力、更多的利润、更高的生产率、更多的纸张繁荣，所有这些都可以转化为只与大小或规模有关的标准，而不是质量或卓越性。
What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.
人们所说的友谊只不过是一种社会安排，一种利益的相互调整，一种给予和接受服务的交换;总之，这只是一个简单的业务，涉及的人建议从中获得稳定的利润，为自己的爱。
