Freedom is a condition of mind,and the best way to secure it is to breed it.
自由是心靈的狀態(tài)，獲取它的最好方式是培育它。
晏子春秋
If you start out by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work toward getting it.
The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and they who have so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but their own dispositions will waste their lives in fruitless efforts.
I therefore have decided to read only the writings of men who have been executed or have risked their lives in some way.
