From a book...

...which I scooped up today: 愛上英语名句名言 • Marcia Cheng 著:

The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.
辛苦背后最大的报偿,不在于人能从中如何获益,而是能够因此成长多少。
-- Ruskin

There is nothing the body suffers the soul may not profit by.
凡肉体遭受的磨难,灵魂都都可以从中收益。
-- G. Meredith

There is noting which has not been bitter before being ripe.
成熟前的事物,都是生硬苦涩的。
--Publius Syrus

This is a lesson you should heed. Try, try, try again. If at first you don't succeed, Try, try, try again.
这是你须有心留的一课:尝试,尝试,再尝试。如果开始时不太成功,那就继续尝试,尝试,尝试。
-- William Edward Hickson

Whenever you have an aim, you must sacrifice something of freedom to attain it.
不论身么时候,只要你有一个目标,旧得牺牲一定的自由去实现它。
-- Somerset Maugham

A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
一个人可以被摧毁,但不能被击败。
