  • 想象统治世界。
• 我曾统领雄师百万，现在却空无一人；我曾横扫三大洲，如今却无立足之地。耶稣远胜于我，他没有一兵一卒，未占领过只寸之地，他的国却建立在万人心中。世间有两种武器：精神和剑。从长远来看，精神必将打败利剑！
• 没有机会！这真是弱者的最好供词。

• One is more certain to influence men, to produce more effect on them, by absurdities than by sensible ideas.
• It is not true that men never change; they change for the worse, as well as for the better. It is not true they are ungrateful; more often the benefactor rates his favors higher than their worth; and often too he does not allow for circumstances. If few men have the moral force to resist impulses, most men do carry within themselves the germs of virtues as well as of vices, of heroism as well as of cowardice. Such is human nature — education and circumstances do the rest.
• True character stands the test of emergencies. Do not be mistaken, it is weakness from which the awakening is rude.
  • 真正的品格经得起紧急情况的考验。不要误会，这是来自粗鲁觉醒时的软弱表现。
• One must learn to forgive and not to hold a hostile, bitter attitude of mind, which offends those about us and prevents us from enjoying ourselves; one must recognize human shortcomings and adjust himself to them rather than to be constantly finding fault with them.
  • 一个人必须学会宽容，不要怀有一种敌对的、痛苦的心态，这种心态会冒犯我们周围的人，阻碍我们享受生活;一个人必须认识到人的缺点，并使自己适应它们，而不是不断地挑剔它们。
• It is not necessary to prohibit or encourage oddities of conduct which are not harmful.
  • 没有必要禁止或鼓励没有害的古怪行为。
• The best way to keep one’s word is not to give it.
  • 遵守诺言的最好方法是——不要将其说出口。
• In politics nothing is immutable. Events carry within them an invincible power. The unwise destroy themselves in resistance. The skillful accept events, take strong hold of them and direct them.

• Fanaticism must be put to sleep before it can be eradicated.
  • 狂热在消灭前，必须让其沉睡。
• I do not see in religion the mystery of the incarnation so much as the mystery of the social order. It introduces into the thought of heaven an idea of equalization, which saves the rich from being massacred by the poor. Often paraphrased as “Religion keeps the poor from killing the rich.”
  • 在宗教中，我看不到化身的奥秘，更不知道社会秩序的奥秘。它将天堂的思想引入均等化的思想中，使富人免于被穷人屠杀。经常被解释为“宗教使穷人不致于杀害富人”。
• A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.
  • 总司令每天应该对自己说几次：如果敌人出现在我面前，出现在我右边，出现在我左边，我该怎么办？如果问题发现他是不确定的，他就不好，他不是他应该的，他应该补救它。

  • 最危险的时刻是胜利的时刻。
• At the beginning of a campaign it is important to consider whether or not to move forward; but when one has taken the offensive it is necessary to maintain it to the last extremity. However skilfully effected a retreat may be, it always lessens the morale of an army, since in losing the chances of success, they are remitted to the enemy. A retreat, moreover, costs much more in men and materials than the bloodiest engagements, with this difference, also, that in a battle the enemy loses practically as much as you do; while in a retreat you lose and he does not.
  • 在战役开始时，考虑是否向前推进很重要，但是当进攻进行到最后时，必须把它保持在最后一个极端。不管撤退多么巧妙，它总是会降低军队的士气，因为一旦失去成功的机会，就会被交还给敌人。此外，撤退比最血腥的战斗花费更多的人力和物力，还有一个差别，在战斗中敌人实际上损失和你一样多，而在撤退中你损失而不是他。

  • 我们应当努力奋斗，有所作为。这样，我们就可以说，我们没有虚度年华，并有可能在时间的沙滩上留下我们的足迹。
