Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.

謙虛不僅是一種裝飾品, 也是美德的護衛。 --Joseph Addison 愛迪生

He that is full of himself is very empty.

自滿的人是空虛的。

A good book is the best friend, the same today and forever.

好書如摯友，情誼永不渝。

The man who has never made a mistake will never make anything else.

從來不犯錯誤的人將一事無成。

Rome was not built in a day.

冰凍三尺，非一日之寒。

Old friends and old wine are best.

陳酒味純，老友情深。

Hear one side and you will be in the dark, hear both sides, and all will be clear.

偏聽則暗,兼聽則明。
