1 There is a brilliant child locked inside every student.
在每一个学生的内在，都深藏着一颗闪闪发光的赤子之心。
2 Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.
不要试图改变学生，首先要改变自己。好老师使差学生成为好学生，好学生变得更出色。如果我们的学生失败了，作为教师的我们也同样失败了。
3 The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.
教的实质就是努力使学习的热情蔓延，并使彼此之间的灵感持续不断地相互激发。
4 Once teachers try the Socratic, or direct method of teaching, they will never return to anything that cannot produce the 'magic.'
一旦教师试图使用问答式或直接结论式的教学法，他们就再也没有可能回到任何可以产生“奇迹”的地方了。
5 Success doesn't come to you... you go to it.
成功不是想来的...你只能走向成功。
6 Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do best.
卓越不是一个行为，而是一种习惯。你做的最出色的事都是你最愿意尽力做的事。
7 Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.
相信自己，想你自己所想的，做你自己愿做的，说你自己要说的，做你自己。任何模仿都是自杀行为。
8 Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail.
果断的决定和坚韧的意志可以改变世界，期待依赖什么人的帮助就能达到目标是绝对行不通的。
9 Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
自己是怎样的人自己最知道，管他别人怎么说呢。
10 If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything.
一个人如果连犯错都不敢，他终将一事无成。
11 Mr. Meant-to has a friend, his name is Didn't-Do. Have you met them? They live together in a house called Never-Win. And I am told that it is haunted by the Ghost of Might-have-Been.
“认命”先生有一位朋友，他的名字叫“别干”。你见过他们吗？他们俩一起住在一间被叫做“不成”的房子里。我听说这栋房子里游荡着一个叫做“没准”的鬼魂。
