There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

  • -- Benjamin Franklin 本杰明富兰克林

有两种幸福的方式:我们必须要么减少我们的欲望,要么增加我们的手段——任何一种都可以——结果都是一样的,这是由每个人自己决定的,做那些碰巧更容易的事情。
