我什麼都能抗拒,除了誘惑。

我認為,上帝造人有點過高估計了自己的能力。

(I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.)

永遠原諒敵人,沒有什麼能比這個讓他們更惱火。

(Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.)

我什麼都能抗拒,除了誘惑。

(I can resist everything except temptation.)

為了贏回我的青春,我什麼都願意做,除了鍛煉、早起、做個對社會有用的人。

(To win back my youth, there is nothing I wouldn't do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community.)

年輕的時候,我以為錢是人生最重要的,現在我老了,我懂了,確實如此。

(When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.)

人生中只有一件事比被人議論更糟糕,那就是:無人議論你。

(There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.)

時裝是一種讓人無法忍受的醜陋,所以我們必須每六個月換一次。

(Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.)
