Life being very short, and the quiet hour of it few; we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books. —— John Ruskin
人生十分短促,宁静的时间又不多; 我们不应该浪费宝贵的时间 去读毫无价值的书。 —— 约翰·拉斯金
The world can be changed by man's endeavor, and that this endeavor can lead to something new and better. No man can sever the bonds that unite him to his society simply by averting his eyes . He must ever be receptive and sensitive to the new ; and have sufficient courage and skill to novel facts and to deal with them . (Franklin Roosevelt , American President )
人经过努力可以改变世界,这种努力可以使人类达到新的、更美好的境界。没有人仅凭闭目、不看社会现实就能割断自己与社会的联系。他必须敏感,随时准备接受新鲜事物;他必须有勇气与能力去面对新的事实,解决新问题。(美国总统 罗斯福. F.)
Better be unborn than untaught , for ignorance is the root of misfortune .(Plato , Ancient Greek philosopher)
与其不受教育,不如不生,因为无知是不幸的根源.(古希腊哲学家 柏拉图)
