Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark. 人怕死犹如儿童怕入暗室。
He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune, for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. 有妻儿者实已向命运押了人质，从此难成大事，无论善恶。
What is truth? said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer. 真理何物？彼拉多笑而问曰，不待人答而去。
To choose time is to save time. 善择时即省时。
Virtue is a rich stone, best plain set. 道德犹如宝石，朴素最美。
Prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue. 顺境易见劣性，逆境易见德性。
All rising to great place is by a winding stair.
The rising unto place is laborious; and by pains men come to greater pains: and it is sometimes base; and by indignities men come to dignities.
一切腾达，无不须循小梯盘旋而上。历尽艰难始登高位，含辛茹苦，唯得更大辛苦。有时事且卑劣，因此须做尽不光荣之事，方能达光荣之位。
Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid. 声名犹如大河，空虚无物者浮，实学有才者沉。
