Life consists of three days: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Life involves three stages of learning: youth is like the rising sun, adulthood like the midday sun, and old age like the glow of a candle.

Genius is only a step away from us. Contemporaries often fail to realize that this step spans a thousand miles, while later generations blindly believe that a thousand miles is just one step.

天才与我们只相隔一步。同时代的人往往不理解这一步其实是千里，后人又盲目相信这千里只是一小步。正因如此，当代人可能轻视天才，而后人则在天才面前焚香敬仰。《侏儒的话》中提到，遭受苦难的人在经历痛楚时往往无法察觉其剧烈，真正令人心碎的是随后的长期折磨。
清晨睁开眼，我们应对自己说：“今天是最好的一天！”无论昨天发生了什么，已经成为过去，不可改变。不要让昨日的烦恼影响今日的心情。开始一天的工作时，无论多忙、多有压力，都不要抱怨，保持好心情，活好每一天。
从某种意义上讲，冒险体现了进取精神。在科学事业上，没有少数人的冒险，就没有科学的进步，也没有社会的发展。没有冒险，螃蟹至今也不会成为人们餐桌上的美味。
面对金钱，人们有各种心态。有的人宁可亏自己，也不愿亏金钱；有人宁可亏金钱，也不愿亏自己；有人唯恐金钱溜走，每天紧握不放；而最后一种情况，就是人们常说的“要钱不要命”。
