人生锦句
Money can cure hunger, it cannot cure unhappiness. Food can satisfy the appetite, but not the soul.
—— G. B. Shaw
金钱可以充饥，但不能治愈不幸。食物可以饱腹，但却不能满足灵魂的需求。
—— G.B.萧伯纳
Human kindness is like a defective tap: the first gush may be impressive but the stream soon dries up.
- PD James (1920 - ), English mystery novelist

——英国侦探小说家PD·詹姆斯
In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.
- Anita Brookner (1928- ), British novelist & art historian
在现实生活中，获胜的总是兔子，看看你周围，每次都是这样。在任何情况下，我都认为伊索是在为乌龟市场而写，兔子没有时间去读它，它们为了赢得比赛正忙得不可开交。
——英国小说家、艺术史学家阿尼塔·布鲁克纳
If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are. - Montesquieu (1689-1755), French political philosopher
如果你仅仅企盼幸福，这不难做到；但我们企盼比别人更幸福，则总是难于做到，因为别人的生活并非如我们以为的那样幸福。
——法国政治哲学家孟德斯鸠
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.

除了自由与公正，最重要的就是大众教育了，没有它自由与公正都不会持久。
——美国总统詹姆斯·加菲尔德（1831-81）
To what a degree the same past can leave different marks - and especially admit of different interpretations.
- Andr??Gide (1869-1951) French novelist
拥有相同的背景却留下了不同的足迹，这一区别的程度是多么大呀!而同样的历史更是可以有不同的解释，其区别的程度也是多么大呀！
-----法国小说家安德烈纪德
We must respect the other fellow''s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
- HL Mencken (1880-1956) US social critic
我们对他人宗教信仰的尊重，只是在一定意义和一定程度上，就像我们尊重他的“我的妻子是漂亮的，我的孩子是聪明的”这一看法一样。
-----美国社会评论家HL·蒙肯
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing".
- Daniel J. Boorstin (1914 - ) US cultural historian
旅行者是主动的，他下功夫去追寻人，追寻冒险，追寻体验。而旅游者是被动的，他期待着有趣的事发生在面前。他是去观光。
——美国文化史学者 丹尼尔·J·布尔斯汀
