使用让步状语从句 'Even when...' 突出了在逆境中坚守原则的艰难与可贵。
Today, we should candidly express our current thoughts, and tomorrow, we should honestly state our future opinions, even if they are diametrically opposed to our present views.
Believe in your own thoughts, in what you deeply confirm within yourself, which will eventually be acknowledged by others—this is the essence of genius.
Although the language of Moses, Plato, and Milton was plain and unadorned, their status as great figures stems primarily from their disdain for bookish dogmas and their liberation from traditional customs. They spoke their own thoughts, not those of others. One must learn to discover and observe the fleeting sparks in the depths of one's own heart, rather than limiting oneself to gazing at the radiance in the skies of poets and saints. Regrettably, people often neglect their own thoughts, discarding them unconsciously simply because they are their own.
In the works of geniuses, we recognize thoughts we had long since abandoned, now appearing alien yet dignified. Thus, we embrace them with open arms—perhaps no greater lesson can be found in great literature. These recovered thoughts admonish us: Even when the voice of the majority is contrary to us, we should adhere to the truths we have confirmed for ourselves, willing to remain uncompromising.
As knowledge grows, people will inevitably realize that jealousy is ignorance and imitation is suicide. Whether in fortune or misfortune, one must master oneself. The potential inherent in a person is boundless; what they are capable of doing is unknown to others. If they do not attempt it, they will remain perpetually unaware of this capability.
我们今天应当坦率地表达当下的想法，明天则应诚实地陈述明天的观点，即便它们与今日的看法截然相反。
相信你自己的思想，相信那些你在内心深处确信的东西，终将得到众人的认可——这，就是天才的定义。
尽管摩西、柏拉图和弥尔顿的语言质朴无华，但他们之所以成为伟人，其最卓越的贡献在于蔑视书本教条，摆脱传统习俗的束缚，说出属于他们自己的、而非他人的思想。一个人应当学会更多地去发现并观察自己心灵深处那一闪即逝的火花，而不仅仅局限于仰望诗人与圣贤天空中的光芒。令人惋惜的是，人们往往忽视自己的思想，在不知不觉中将其抛弃，仅仅因为那是属于他们自己的。
在天才的著作中，我们认出了那些自己早已摒弃的思想，它们显得既陌生又庄严。因此，我们欣然接纳它们——或许，伟大的文学作品再没有比这更深刻的教诲了。这些失而复得的思想警示我们：即便大众的声音与我们相悖，我们也应遵从自己确认的真理，乐于坚守而不妥协。
随着学识的增长，人们终将领悟：嫉妒源于无知，模仿即是自杀。无论身处顺境还是逆境，人都应主宰自我。蕴藏在人身上的潜力是无限的，究竟能胜任何种事务，他人无法预知；若不去动手尝试，自己也将永远对这种能力蒙昧无知。
"If I cannot I will persist."
"Life is like riding a bicycle; to keep your balance, you must keep moving forward."
"Great people are supported by unwavering beliefs; what sets them apart from the mediocre is their persistence and consistency."
"Every dazzling brilliance has endured persistence through wind and rain"
"A drop of water penetrates a stone not because of its strength, but because of its persistence."
