Guessing game
Read the quotes, guess the author
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
别到处说世界亏欠了你。世界什么都不欠你的，你还没出生它就在这儿了。
Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
20年后，让你觉得更失望的不是你做过的事
情，而是你没有做过的事情。
所以，解开帆索，从安全的港湾里扬帆出行吧。乘着信风，去探索，去梦想，去发现！
bowline ['bəʊlɪn] n. 单套结；帆脚索

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
远离那些企图让你丧失雄心的人吧。小人经常如此，而真正的伟人会让你觉得你也可以变得伟大。
belittle [bɪ'lɪtl] you say or imply that they are unimportant or not very good
