4.“Hope
works in these ways: it looks for the good in people instead of harping on the
worst; it discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot; it
regards problems, large or small, as opportunities; it pushes ahead when it
would be easy to quit; it “lights the candle” instead of “cursing the
darkness.””— Anonymous
「希望由以下方式呈現：它尋找人們美好的一面，而不是不停地談論最壞的部份。它發現可以完成的事，而不是抱怨不能完成的事。它把問題，無論大或小，當作是機會。當放棄比較容易時，它推你向前。它『點亮爉燭』，而不是『咒罵黑暗』。」–
無名氏
5.“Genius
is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Accordingly a genius is often merely a
talented person who has done all of his or her homework.”— Thomas Edison, Inventor
「天才是
1% 靈感及
99% 汗水。因此，天才通常只是一個做完所有功課的聰明人。」–
