The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men, Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the Sun again. It’sfull of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent...
A Conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲：人生呵，无非是虚梦一场！因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般，事物的表里并不一样。 A Psalm of Life by Herry Wadsworth Longfellow Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art , to dust returnest, Was not sp...

After all, could a twe...

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nati...
The Power of Imagination Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through the senses. It is the ability of the mind to built mental scenes, objects or events that do not exist, are not present or have happened in the past. Memory is actually a manifestation of imagination. Everyone possesses some imagination ability. In some it may...
I have known very few writers, but those I have known, and whom I respect, confess at once that they have little idea where they are going when they first set pen to paper. They have a character, perhaps two; they are in that condition of eager discomfort which passes for inspiration; all admit radical changes of destination once the journey has begun; one, to my certain kno...

It’s important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under any circumstances,because if you believe you can,then you ...
绅士，他是一个从不使别人遭受痛苦的人。这几乎就是为一个有修养的人所下的定义。 Hence it is, that it is almost a definition of a gentleman, to say he is one who never inflicts pain. This description is both refined and, as far as it goes, accurate. He is mainly occupied in merely removing the obstacles which hinder the free and unembarrassed action of those about him; and he co...
Stress and Relaxation It is commonly believed that only rich middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress. In fact anyone may become ill as a result of stress if they experience a lot of worry over a long period and their health is not especially good. Stress can be a friend or an enemy: it can warn you that you are under too much pressure and should change your way of life. I...
Yellow Post-Its Can you still find this day, my dear, among your possessions? Among the souvenirs of your trips to faraway lands, the textbooks from those halcyon days when you walked the hallowed portals of that engineering college, the cassettes whose covers were left behindafter one of those bacchanalian sessions in the hostel, the photographs of those classmates whose na...
Stress is a normal part of life and usually comes from everyday occurrences. Here are some ways you can deal with everyday sources of stress. Eliminate as many sources of stress as you can. For example, if crowds bother you, go to supermarket when you know the lines won’t be too long. Try renting videotapes rather than going to crowded movie theaters. If you are always runni...
Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. The days stretch out in an endless vista, so we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life. The same lethargy characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize ...
往昔已逝，静如止水；我们无法再作改变。而前方的未来正生机勃勃；我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它。 “We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…” I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future ...

我的小马一定以我为怪，近无房舍，为何停伫。 况只有林子与冰湖，和一年中最黑之夜。 Stopping by Woods Whose woods these are I think I know, His house is in the village though. He will not see me stopping here, To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer, To stop without a farmhouse near, Between the woods and frozen lake, The darkest evening of the ...
The Power of Beauty One of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier.
