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

谦虚不仅是一种装饰品, 也是美德的护卫。 --Joseph Addison 爱迪生

He that is full of himself is very empty.

自满的人是空虚的。

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

好书如挚友，情谊永不渝。

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

从来不犯错误的人将一事无成。

Rome was not built in a day.

冰冻三尺，非一日之寒。

Old friends and old wine are best.

陈酒味纯，老友情深。

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

偏听则暗,兼听则明。
