Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. —Marie Curie There is nothing to be feared in the world,while there are only things to be understood. “ 生活中没有什么可怕的东西, 只需要理解 的东西.”

It takes a very unusual mind to undertake analysis of the obvious. —Alfred North Whitehead To explore or study the obvious things is not so easy. It needs a very unusual mind, that is to say,original ideas and opinions. 分析明显存在的事物需要非凡的头脑 。

You cannot teach a man anything;you can only help him find it within himself. —Galileo Galilei You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover something by himself or help him teach himself. 你不可能把一切都教给一个人，你只能帮助 他在他认知的范围内去发现和了解事物。
