All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.  (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings Part I)

真金未必都發光，漂泊未必都迷茫；老當益壯不衰朽，根深蒂固經風霜。灰燼重燃熊熊火，陰影復甦熠熠光；寶劍鋒從斷鏨出，無冕之人再稱王。

The great use of life is to spend it doing something that will outlast it.  -- William James

生命之大用, 就是用它去做比生命更長久的事情.

Don't cry about your past. Life is full of pain. Let the pain sharpen you, but don't hold on to it. Don't be bitter. -- Trevor Noah

不要為你的過去流淚. 生活充滿苦痛, 讓苦痛磨你, 但不要偏執於苦痛, 不要憤憤不平.

Nothing of worth or weight can be achieved with half a mind, with a faint heart, and with a lame endeavor. -- Issac Barrow

猶豫不決, 內心脆弱, 行動拖拉, 如此便不可能完成任何有價值和有分量的事情.

I have accepted fear as a part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says, "turn back".

我已經接受恐懼是生活的一部分, 特別是對改變的恐懼, 對未知的恐懼. 儘管我的心怦怦直跳, 跟我說"回頭", 我依然勇往直前
