"Et nous jongleurs inutiles, frivoles joueurs de luth!". Useless jugglers, frivolous players on the lute! Must we so describe ourselves, we, the producers, season by season, of so many hundreds of "remarkable" works of fiction?--for though, when we take up the remarkable works of our fellows, we "really cannot read them!" the Press and the advertisements of our publishers tell us that they are "remarkable."英文原著 · 《Concerning Letters》

Hermione glanced at his face.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》

When a man can do this--can have passionate convictions in passionate times, and yet keep his judgment unclouded, wise, and calm, he serves his country well.英文原著 · 《A Straight Deal》
CONSIDERING everything, the most remarkable thing in Russell Conwell's remarkable life is his lecture, ``Acres of Diamonds.'' That is, the lecture itself, the number of times he has delivered it, what a source of inspiration it has been to myriads, the money that he has made and is making, and, still more, the purpose to which he directs the money. In the circumstances surrounding ``Acres of Diamonds,'' in its tremendous success, in the attitude of mind revealed by the lecture itself and by what Dr. Conwell does with it, it is illuminative of his character, his aims, his ability.英文原著 · 《Acres of Diamonds》
