活着是世上最稀有的事情。大多数人只是存在而已。

第一次结婚是幻想战胜了理智，第二次结婚是期盼战胜了经验。

When I was young I used to think that money was the most important thing in life. Now that I am old, I know it is.
当我年轻时，我以为金钱是人生中最重要的东西。现在我老了，我知道这是真的。

Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot.
年轻人想要有信仰，但他们却没有；老年人不想要有信仰，但却办不到。
