　　“Two gates there are for dreams," said Penelope to Odysseus after his ten years' wandering had ended. "One made for horn and one of for ivory. The dreams that pass through the carved ivory delude and bring us tales that turn to naught;those that can come through polished horn accomplish real things whenever seen."“夢想有兩扇門，”在奧德修斯結束了十年的漂泊后，潘尼洛對他說，“一扇是號角制成，一扇是象牙制成。通過精雕細縷的象牙門得夢想不過是一場會歸于無的海市蜃樓的童話;而那些通過磨礪的號角門的夢想才會成為真實，為人所見。”

　　Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. It is not enough that a thing be possible for it to be believed.當還缺乏產生信仰的足夠理由時，要用信念去包涵。模棱兩可不足以支持一個信仰。(伏爾泰)

　　Conviction is everything in wishing. If you don't believe in your own power to make your wish come true, your wish will fly away, never to be seen again. But which leads to the most important point of all. If you're wishing for something possible, then it may be possible for you to do whatever you need to make it come true. The ultimate magic is not wishing, but doing.在許愿時，必須要深信不疑。如果你不相信自己有能力讓愿望成真，你的愿望就會飛走，再也看不見。但那正說明了最重要的一點。如果你所希望的是有可能實現得了的，那么你有可能會不惜一切地去實現它。最大的魔力不在于許愿，而在于去做。

　　As wishes may inspire dreams, so dreams may inspire wishes.正如心愿能夠激發夢想，夢想也能夠激發心愿。

　　If you would go up high, then use your own legs ! Do not let yourselves carried aloft; do not seat yourselves on other people's backs and heads. (F. W. Nietzsche, German Philosopher)　　如果你想走到高處, 就要使用自己的兩條腿! 不要讓別人把你抬到高處;不要坐在別人的背上和頭上。(德國哲學家 尼采. F. W.)

　　It is at our mother's knee that we acquire our noblest and truest and highest, but there is seldom any money in them. ( Mark Twain, American writer )　　就是在我們母親的膝上,我們獲得了我們的最高尚、最真誠和最遠大的理想,但是里面很少有任何金錢。(美國作家 馬克·吐溫)

　　Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. (Alexander Dumas, Davy de La Pailleterie, French Writer)　　生活沒有目標就像航海沒有指南針。 (法國作家 大仲馬. A.)
