Autumn mornings: sunshine and crisp air, birds and calmness, year’s end and day’s beginnings.

秋日的早晨是這樣的：陽光和微涼的空氣、鳥鳴和寧靜的氛圍，一年的尾聲卻是一天的開始。

– Terri Guillemets (美国作家)

I saw old Autumn in the misty morn stand shadowless like silence, listening to silence.

在多霧的清晨裡，我看見晚秋沉默地站著，聆聽著沉默。

– Thomas Hood (英国诗人)

My sorrow, when she’s here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.

我的憂傷，此時陪伴著我，她覺得秋雨中這些陰暗的時日，再好不過。她愛這光禿、凋謝的樹；她在濕透的牧場小路上行走。

– Robert Frost

Believe in yourself, your neighbors, your work, your ultimate attainment of more complete happiness. It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.

相信你自己、你的鄰居、你的工作、你最終更完全的快樂。只有在春天虔誠播種的農夫，能在秋天收割莊稼。

– B.C. Forbes, Founder of Forbes Magazine

One cannot know what a man really is by the end of a fortnight. But if we do not venture, somebody else will.

跟一個人相處了兩個星期，不可能就此了解他究竟是怎樣一個人。不過，要是我們不去嘗試嘗試，別人可少不了要嘗試的。《 Pride and Prejudice 傲慢與偏見》
