"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."

“一個人從未犯過錯，是因為他從未嘗試新鮮事物。”

(Most people don`t try new things because of their fear of failure. Failing is not someting to be afraid of. It is often the loser who learn more about winning than the winners. Our mistakes always give us opportunities to learn and grow.)

大多數人因為害怕失敗而不去嘗試新鮮事物。失敗沒什么好怕的。敗者往往比勝者從勝利從獲益更多。我們所犯的錯誤總是給我們機會學習與成長。

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination."

“我是個才華橫溢的藝術家，可以無拘無束的想象。”

(Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. If I give you a pfennig, you will be one pfennig richer and I`ll be one pfennig poorer. But if I give you an idea, you will have a new idea, but I shall still have it,too.)

（想象力比知識更重要。知識有限，想象力卻能暢游整個世界。如果我給你一芬尼，你多了一芬尼而我少了一芬尼。但是如果我給你一個想法，你會有個新的想法，我卻并無損失。）

If A is a success in life，than A equals X plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

                                                                             ——Albret Einstein

如果A代表人生的成功，那么A=x+y+z。x是勤奮工作；y是娛樂；而z則是把嘴閉上。

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."

“教育是一個人忘掉學校學到的東西后唯一學到的。”

(30 years from now, you won`t possibly remember what chapters you had in your science book; you`d only remember what you learn on your way. Life lessons stay with you forever. Real education starts from within.)

（30年后，你也許記不起曾學過的科學課本上有哪些章節；你只會記得成長中所學到的點滴。生活賜予的經驗將伴你終身。真正的教育始于內心。）

"There are two ways to live; you can live as if noting is a miracle： you can live as if everything is a miracle."

“人生有兩種活法：你可以活得事事非奇跡；也可以活得處處是奇跡。”

(When noting is a miracle, you gain the power of doing anything you want an you have no limits. And when everything is a miracle, you stop by to appreciate even the smallest of beautiful things in the world. Thinking both ways will give you a productive and happy life.)

（當你覺得人生無奇跡，你會迸發為理想而拼搏的力量，沒什么能將你束縛。當你認為處處是奇跡，你會為世間最細微的動人之處駐足欣賞。兩種思維方式都能讓你擁有充實而幸福的生活。）

"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyong else."

"In order to win a game, one must above all play the game.In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all bea sheep oneself."

“你必須去學習游戲規則。然后，你還要比別人玩得更好。”

“要贏比賽，首先得參加比賽。要成為羊群中杰出的一員，你就必須先成為一只羊。”

"As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it."

“知識之圓擴大了，它與周圍未知世界接觸的周就增大了。”

(Intelligent people ask. Keep questioning yourself and others to find solutions. This will help gain knowledge and analyze your growth in all walks of life.)

（智者總是好問。不停地對自己及他人發問以尋求解決之道。這會幫助你獲得更多知識，同時從生活全方面分析自己的特長。）

"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."

“態度的弱點會變成性格的弱點。”

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It take a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.

（任何一個聰明的笨蛋都可以把事情做得更大、更復雜、更暴力。這個過程需要一點兒天分——及更多的膽量——朝著相反的方向前進）
