To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82)
經常笑，放聲笑。贏得有識之士的尊重，贏得小孩子的愛慕;贏得誠實的批評者的讚賞，容忍虛偽的朋友的背叛;讚嘆美;在別人身上尋找優點;無論是一個健康的孩子、一塊花圃、改善的社會狀況，離開這個世界時，這個世界有變得好一點;甚至，知道因為你活過，有一個生命活得更安逸。此之謂成功。
拉夫 華爾多 愛默生(1803-82)

There is s theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy
有一個理論這麼說，如果有任何人能正確的知道宇宙的目的，以及它為何會在這裡，宇宙將會立即消失，並且被更奇異、更難理解的東西所取代。
還有一個理論說，這件事早已發生了。
