　　By the will, the hopes and the plans are prevented from evaporating into dreams.

　　Life is in a sense a battle.

　　The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and by idling meets failure at last.

　　那种妄想凭借小聪明闲混到出人头地的人最终只会落得失败的下场。

　　Perseverance is the master impulse of the firmest souls, and holds the key to those treasure-houses of knowledge from which the world has drawn its wealth both of wisdom and of moral worth.

　　坚持不懈是那些信念坚定的人主导性的精神动力，其把持着开启那些知识宝库的钥匙，全世界的人都可以从中获取智慧和道德的财富。

　　Great men never wait for opportunities; they make them.

　　They seize upon whatever is at hand, work out their problem, and master the situation.
