1.He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.2.I forget what I was taught.I only remember what I have learned.3.If you educate a man, you educate a person, but if you educate a woman, you educate a family.4.Learning to learn is to know how to navigate（导航） in a forest of facts, ideas and theories, a proliferation（扩散） of constantly changing items of knowledge.Learning to learn is to know what to ignore but at the same time not rejecting innovation（创新） and research.5.No one can become really educated without having pursued some study in which he took no interest.For it is part of education to interest ourselves in subjects for which we have no aptitude（天资）.6.Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.7.Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.; it is the first leon that ought to be learned, and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last leon that he learns thoroughly.8.Good teaching is 1/4 preparation and 3/4 theatre.9.One father is better than 100 schoolmasters.10.Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.11.You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife? 12.As a general thing, people marry most happily with their own kind.The trouble lies in the fact that people usually marry at an age when they do not really know what their own kind is.13.There isn’t a wife in the world who has not taken the exact measure of her husband, weighed him and settled him in her own mind, and knows him as well as if she had ordered him after designs and specifications（规格） of her own.14.Every story has three sides to it-yours, mine and the facts.15.I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.16.The test of a man or woman’s breeding is how they behave in a quarrel.17.Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation（解放） will be a proclamation（宣布）, but not a fact.18.I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one ‘race’-the human race, and that we are all members of it.19.When one door of happine closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened.20.Many persons have a wrong idea about what constitutes true happine.It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity（忠诚） to a worthy purpose.21.If a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.
1 22.A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.23.One of the forms of psychological heroism is the willingne to tolerate anxiety and uncertainty in the pursuit of our values- whether these values be work goals, the love of another human being, the raising of a family or personal growth.24.One murder makes a villain（罪犯）, millions a hero.25.It is thus with most of us; we are what other people say we are.We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay.26.Talents are best nurtured in solitude; character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.27.I’d rather be strong wrong than weakly right.28.Every man has three characters-that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.29.Character is like a tree, reputation like its shadow.The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.30.Every man in the world is better than someone else.And not as good as someone else.31.The best fertilizer is the gardener’s shadow.32.You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt.33.I cultivate my garden and my garden cultivates me.34.Plants give us oxygen for the lungs and for the soul.35.Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes.36.The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.37.One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides.38.Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.39.We can complain because rose bushes have thorns and rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.40.It is utterly forbidden to be half-hearted about gardening.You have got to love your garden whether you like it or not.41.Succe is a journey, not a destination.The doing is often more important than the outcome.42.Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey.It reminds us to cherish each moment because it will never come again.What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.43.To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping.44.Life to me is a journey-you never know what may be your next destination.45.The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.46.To get away from one’s working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one’s self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.47.All travelling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
2 48.Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.49.The routines of tourism are even more monotonous than those of daily life.50.I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.I travel for travel’s sake.The great affair is to move.51.Focus on the journey, not the destination.Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.52.In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments-there are consequences.53.Men argue; nature acts.54.Like a gardener, I believe that what goes down must come up.55.Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.56.Man is a complex being: he makes deserts bloom and lakes die.57.The greatest joy in nature is the absence of man.58.Nature thrives on patience, man on impatience.59.Gra is the forgivene of nature-her constant benediction.Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but gra is immortal.60.We cannot command nature except by obeying her.61.The soil, in return for her service, keeps the tree tied to her; the sky asks nothing and leaves it free.62.Upper claes are a nation’s past; the middle-cla is its future.63.People are afraid of the future, of the unknown.If a man faces up to it, and takes the dare of the future, he can have some control over his destiny.That is an exciting idea to me, better than waiting with everybody else to see what is going to happen.64.You can never plan the future by the past.65.As long as I have a want, I have a reason to live.Satisfaction is death.66.For death begins with life’s first breath.And life begins at touch of death.67.A man’s dying is more the survivor’ affair than his own.
68.Don’t do things not to die; do things to enjoy living.The by-product may not be dying.69.Our insignificance is often the cause of our safety.70.If you won’t be better tomorrow than you were today, then what do you need tomorrow for? 71.The great pleasure in life is doing the things people say we cannot do.72.Good things, when short, are twice as good.73.If a house be divided against itself; that house cannot stand.74.There never was a good war or a bad peace.75.Today the real test of power is not capacity to make war but capacity to prevent it.76.There is no such thing as inevitable in war, but only deserve it.77.There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, it is all hell.78.In peace, sons bury their fathers; in war, fathers bury their sons.
3 79.War does not determine who is right-only who is left.80.So far war has been the only force that can discipline a whole community, and until an equivalent discipline is organized, I believe that war must have its way.81.Sweetne is war to those who have never experienced it.82.Calamity is the test of integrity.83.Calamity is man’s true touchstone.
84.I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.85.We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.86.There’s no disaster that cannot become a bleing, and no bleing that become a disaster.87.You should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities, but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.88.To hate alone is the road to disaster.To love is the road to strength.To love in spite of all is the secret of greatne.89.No man is demolished but by himself.90.What does not destroy me makes me strong.
