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

“一个人从未犯过错，是因为他从未尝试新鲜事物。”

(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.)

大多数人因为害怕失败而不去尝试新鲜事物。失败没什么好怕的。败者往往比胜者从胜利从获益更多。我们所犯的错误总是给我们机会学习与成长。

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

“我是个才华横溢的艺术家，可以无拘无束的想象。”

(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.)

（想象力比知识更重要。知识有限，想象力却能畅游整个世界。如果我给你一芬尼，你多了一芬尼而我少了一芬尼。但是如果我给你一个想法，你会有个新的想法，我却并无损失。）

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是勤奋工作；y是娱乐；而z则是把嘴闭上。

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

“教育是一个人忘掉学校学到的东西后唯一学到的。”

(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，你也许记不起曾学过的科学课本上有哪些章节；你只会记得成长中所学到的点滴。生活赐予的经验将伴你终身。真正的教育始于内心。）

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

“人生有两种活法：你可以活得事事非奇迹；也可以活得处处是奇迹。”

(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.)

（当你觉得人生无奇迹，你会迸发为理想而拼搏的力量，没什么能将你束缚。当你认为处处是奇迹，你会为世间最细微的动人之处驻足欣赏。两种思维方式都能让你拥有充实而幸福的生活。）

"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."

“你必须去学习游戏规则。然后，你还要比别人玩得更好。”

“要赢比赛，首先得参加比赛。要成为羊群中杰出的一员，你就必须先成为一只羊。”

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

“知识之圆扩大了，它与周围未知世界接触的周就增大了。”

(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.)

（智者总是好问。不停地对自己及他人发问以寻求解决之道。这会帮助你获得更多知识，同时从生活全方面分析自己的特长。）

"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."

“态度的弱点会变成性格的弱点。”

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.

（任何一个聪明的笨蛋都可以把事情做得更大、更复杂、更暴力。这个过程需要一点儿天分——及更多的胆量——朝着相反的方向前进）
