“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
Každý hlupák môže kritizovať, odsudzovať a sťažovať si - a väčšina bláznov to aj robí. K tomu, aby sme boli chápaví a zhovievaví, potrebujeme charakter a sebakontrolu.

Kontext: Benjamin Franklin, tactless in his youth, became so diplomatic, so adroit at handling people that he was made American Ambassador to France. The secret of his success? "I will speak ill of no man," he said, "... and speak all the good I know of everybody." Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving. "A great man shows his greatness," says Carlyle, "by the way he treats little men."

Varianta: I have made it a rule of my life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, and no one who intends to become a writer can afford to indulge in it.
Kontext: I have made it a rule of my life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, and no one who intends to become a writer can afford to indulge in it. You can't get it into shape; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.

“Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought — particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things.”
Je zaujímavé, že podľa moderných astronómov je vesmír konečný. To je veľmi upokojujúca myšlienka - najmä pre ľudí, ktorí si nikdy nemôžu spomenúť, kde nechali svoje veci.

“It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better… while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.”
Zdalo sa, že svet bol rozdelený na dobrých a zlých ľudí. Tým dobrým sa lepšie spalo, zatiaľ čo tí zlí si zrejme oveľa viac užívali bdelé hodiny.
