That is one of the rewards of competition: you can drop down a couple of notches on the food
chain to be as brutal , unsympathetic , selfish and inhuman as you wish in the name of
competition because success supposedly justifies any actions.
Howard Mel, American writer
这就是竞争所得到的一种报酬：你可以将自己在食物链上的身份降低几个档次，打着竞争的旗号，随你所愿地
野蛮、无情、自私和不人道；因为据称，成功可以使任何行动成为正当的（胜者为王败者为寇）
美国作家梅尔.H.
Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace of happiness.
Henrik Ibsen, Norwegian dramatist
金钱可以是许多东西的外壳，却不是里面的果实。它带来食物，却带不来胃口；带来药，却带不来健康；带来相识，却带不来友谊；带来仆人，却带不来他们的忠心；带来享受，却带不来幸福的宁静。
挪威剧作家易卜生.H
Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food for the body.
Cicero, Ancient Roman state4sman and orator
学习对于头脑，如同食物对于身体一样不可缺少。
古罗马政治家、演说家西塞罗
My father had always said that there are four things a child needs plenty of love, nourishing food, fegular sleep , and lots of soap and water---and after those, what he needs most is some intelligent neglect.
Ivy Baker Priest, American officer of government
我父亲总是说，一个孩子需要四样东西--充分的爱、富于营养的食物、有规律的睡眠、大量的肥皂和水--这些完了呢，他最需要的是一些明智的放任。
美国政府官员普里斯特.I.B.
Sunshine can burn you, food can poison you, words can condemn you, pictures can insult you ; music cannot punish ---- only bless.
Arthur Schnabel, Austrian pianist
阳光可能炙烤你，食品可能毒害你，言语可能诅咒你，图画可能侮辱你——音乐不会处罚你只会祝福你。
奥地利钢琴家施纳贝尔A
