Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. (Mark Twain, American writer)不要放棄你的幻想。當(dāng)幻想沒(méi)有了以后,你還可以生存,但是你雖生猶死。((美國(guó)作家 馬克·吐溫)
I want to bring out the secrets of nature and apply them for the happiness of man. I don't know of any better service to offer for the short time we are in the world. (Thomas Edison, American inventor)我想揭示大自然的秘密,用來(lái)造福人類(lèi)。我認(rèn)為,在我們的短暫一生中,最好的貢獻(xiàn)莫過(guò)于此了。 (美國(guó)發(fā)明家 愛(ài)迪生. T.)
Ideal is the beacon. Without ideal, there is no secure direction; without direction, there is no life.( Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer)理想是指路明燈。沒(méi)有理想,就沒(méi)有堅(jiān)定的方向;沒(méi)有方向,就沒(méi)有生活。(俄國(guó)作家 托爾斯泰. L.)
If winter comes, can spring be far behind ?( P. B. Shelley, British poet )冬天來(lái)了,春天還會(huì)遠(yuǎn)嗎?( 英國(guó)詩(shī)人, 雪萊. P. B.)
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground. (Ibsen, Norwegian dramatist )如果你懷疑自己,那么你的立足點(diǎn)確實(shí)不穩(wěn)固了。 (挪威劇作家 易卜生)
“Two gates there are for dreams," said Penelope to Odysseus after his ten years' wandering had ended. "One made for horn and one of for ivory. The dreams that pass through the carved ivory delude and bring us tales that turn to naught;those that can come through polished horn accomplish real things whenever seen."“夢(mèng)想有兩扇門(mén)，”在奧德修斯結(jié)束了十年的漂泊后，潘尼洛對(duì)他說(shuō)，“一扇是號(hào)角制成，一扇是象牙制成。通過(guò)精雕細(xì)縷的象牙門(mén)得夢(mèng)想不過(guò)是一場(chǎng)會(huì)歸于無(wú)的海市蜃樓的童話(huà);而那些通過(guò)磨礪的號(hào)角門(mén)的夢(mèng)想才會(huì)成為真實(shí)，為人所見(jiàn)。”
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. It is not enough that a thing be possible for it to be believed.當(dāng)還缺乏產(chǎn)生信仰的足夠理由時(shí)，要用信念去包涵。模棱兩可不足以支持一個(gè)信仰。(伏爾泰)
Conviction is everything in wishing. If you don't believe in your own power to make your wish come true, your wish will fly away, never to be seen again. But which leads to the most important point of all. If you're wishing for something possible, then it may be possible for you to do whatever you need to make it come true. The ultimate magic is not wishing, but doing.在許愿時(shí)，必須要深信不疑。如果你不相信自己有能力讓愿望成真，你的愿望就會(huì)飛走，再也看不見(jiàn)。但那正說(shuō)明了最重要的一點(diǎn)。如果你所希望的是有可能實(shí)現(xiàn)得了的，那么你有可能會(huì)不惜一切地去實(shí)現(xiàn)它。最大的魔力不在于許愿，而在于去做。
As wishes may inspire dreams, so dreams may inspire wishes.正如心愿能夠激發(fā)夢(mèng)想，夢(mèng)想也能夠激發(fā)心愿。
If you would go up high, then use your own legs ! Do not let yourselves carried aloft; do not seat yourselves on other people's backs and heads. (F. W. Nietzsche, German Philosopher)如果你想走到高處, 就要使用自己的兩條腿! 不要讓別人把你抬到高處;不要坐在別人的背上和頭上。(德國(guó)哲學(xué)家 尼采. F. W.)
It is at our mother's knee that we acquire our noblest and truest and highest, but there is seldom any money in them. ( Mark Twain, American writer )就是在我們母親的膝上,我們獲得了我們的最高尚、最真誠(chéng)和最遠(yuǎn)大的理想,但是里面很少有任何金錢(qián)。(美國(guó)作家 馬克·吐溫)
Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. (Alexander Dumas, Davy de La Pailleterie, French Writer)生活沒(méi)有目標(biāo)就像航海沒(méi)有指南針。 (法國(guó)作家 大仲馬. A.)
