The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.

-- Will Rogers 罗杰斯

学会读书的人越多，学会谋生的人就越少。这是一点教育。它会因为你的实际工作而影响你。你知道的越多，你就越觉得别人欠你的钱越多。

It seems to me that everyone on this planet whom I know or have worked with is suffering from self-hatred and guilt to one degree or another. The more self-hatred and guilt we have, the less our lives work. The less self-hatred and guilt we have, the better our lives work, on all levels.

在我看来，这个星球上我认识或共事过的每一个人都或多或少地遭受着自我憎恨和负罪感的折磨。我们的自我憎恨和罪恶感越多，我们的生活就越没有意义。我们的自我憎恨和罪恶感越少，我们的生活在各个层面上就会越好。
