The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
試圖獨自生活的人不會成功。如果他的心不回應另一顆心，他的心就會枯萎。如果他只聽到自己思想的回聲而找不到其他靈感，他的思想就會萎縮。
Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.
愛不能被強迫，愛不能被哄騙和挑逗。它來自天堂，不請自來，不尋自至。
The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.
真相總是令人興奮的。那么就說出來吧。沒有它，生活是乏味的。
I am always glad to think that my education was, for the most part, informal, and had its roots in the soil.
我總是很高興地想到，我的教育大部分是非正式的，并且根植于土壤之中。
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible – and achieve it, generation after generation.
年輕人不知道什么是謹慎，因此他們嘗試不可能的事情——并且一代又一代地實現(xiàn)了它。
Order is the shape upon which beauty depends.
秩序是美所依賴的形狀。
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word – excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
工作的樂趣在于一個詞——卓越。知道如何做好一件事就是享受它。
