As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

  • -- Henry David Thoreau 亨利·大卫·梭罗

正如一个脚印不能在地球上开辟一条路一样,一个想法也不能在头脑中开辟一条路。为了走出一条深深的物理之路,我们走了一遍又一遍。要走出一条深邃的心灵之路,我们必须反复思考我们希望主宰我们生活的思想。
