1/ 我认为人们并不懂得何谓高贵，何谓愚昧。尽管他们经常把这两样东西挂在嘴边。I often think that men don't understand what is noble and what is ignorant, though they always talk about it.2/ 虚荣是对别人害处最少，而对自己最有害的热情。Vanity is the least harmful to others, and the most harmful to oneself.3/ 重要的不是知识的数量，而是知识的质量，有些人知道很多，但却不知道最有用的东西。What is important is not the quantity of knowledge, but the quality of knowledge. Some people know a lot, but they don't know the most useful things.4/ 当你意识到自己是个谦虚的人时，你就不再谦虚了。When you realize that you are a modest person, you are not a humble person at once.5/ 理想是指路明灯。没有理想，就没有坚定的方向；没有方向，就没有生活。Ideal is the beacon. Without ideal, there is no secure direction; without direction, there is no life.6/ 了解一切，就会原谅一切。Understand everything, you will forgive everything.7/ 不要把学问看作用来装饰的王冠，也不要把它当作用来挤奶的奶牛。Don't look on learning as a crown for ornament, or a cow for milk.8/ 幸福的家庭都是相似的，不幸的家庭各有各的不幸。All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.9/ 人生的一切变化，一切魅力，一切美都是由光明和阴影构成的。All changes in life, all the charm, all the beauty is made of light and shadow.10/ 盲目地相信科学，和无知毫无差别。Blind faith in science is just a form of ignorance.11/ 没有信仰的人的生活，无非是动物的生活。People who do not believe in life lead nothing more than an animal's life.12/ 纯粹的、完全的哀愁和纯粹的、完全的欢乐一样都是不可能的。Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
