I am cought between the devil and the deep blue sea. 进退维谷。

I am not a slave, I am not a captive, and by energy I can overcome the greater obstacles. 我不是奴隶，也不是俘虏，我有力量可以克服更大的艰难险阻。

I am not now that which I have been. (I am not what I used to be.) 今日之我已非昔日之我。

I am not only witty¹ in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men. 我不仅要使自己有才智，而且也要使别人有才智。

I believe the first test of truly great man is his humility². 一个真正伟大的人，对他的第一个考验就是看他是否谦逊。

I cannot be your friend and your flatterer too. 我不能既是你的朋友，而又对你阿谀奉承。

I count myself in nothing else so happy as in a soul remem-bering my good friends. 我认为，只有在脑海中想起好朋友时我才会那样快乐。
