星期日在林口觀音寺翻了一下善書，看到下面幾個句子，就把它記下來了。我喜歡追根究底，於是回來後在網路上查了一下，給大家參考一下。(中文是我自己翻譯的。)

Horace Walpole (1717-1797) 英國伯爵

The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel. (人生對思考的人來說是喜劇，對感覺的人來說是悲劇。)

• Letter to Sir Horace Mann (1769-12-31)
  
• A favourite saying of Walpole's, often repeated in his letters, this may be derived from the similar statement by Jean de La Bruyère: "Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think."

• Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.  (沒有什麼比常識和平凡的態度更讓人吃驚了。)

From http://www.answers.com/topic/zeal 

"Zeal without knowledge is fire without light." - Thomas Fuller  歷史上不只一個Thomas Fuller，不太確定是哪一個。

(沒有學識的熱誠，就像沒有光的火。)

下面這句是在找上面這一句時在網路上看到的：

"Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost." - Buddha Buddha釋迦牟尼

(經由熱誠可以得到知識；缺乏熱誠，知識就沒有影響力了。)
