毛姆名言选摘
你要克服的是你的虚荣心，是你的炫耀欲，你要对付的是你时刻想要伸出来出风头的小聪明。
不要对别人期待太多，从一开始就应该认识到，每个人的主要兴趣都是他自身；无论是在哪方面，付出才有回报，不管是地位、财富、荣誉、爱情、名望，皆是如此；而且所谓智慧，很大程度就是，对某个事物的付出不要超过其真正价值。
世界是无情的，残酷的，我们生到人世间没有人知道为了什么，我们死后没有人知道到何处去，我们自甘卑屈，我们必须看到冷清寂寥的美妙，在生活中我们一定不要出风头、露头角，惹起命运对我们注目，让我们去寻求那些淳朴、敦厚的人的爱情吧，他们的愚昧远比我们的知识更为可贵，让我们保持着沉默，满足于自己小小的天地，像他们一样平易温顺吧，这就是生活的智慧。

Selected quotes from Somerset Maugham
What you have to overcome is your vanity, your desire to show off, and what you have to deal with is your little cleverness that always wants to show off.
Don't expect too much from others. You should realize from the beginning that everyone's main interest is himself; no matter where you are, you will get rewards if you pay, whether it is status, wealth, honor, love, fame, etc. So; and the so-called wisdom, to a large extent, is not to pay more for something than its true value.
The world is ruthless and cruel. No one knows why we are born in this world. No one knows where we will go after we die. We are resigned to ourselves. We must see the beauty of deserted loneliness. In life, we must not To be in the limelight, to attract the attention of fate, let us seek the love of those simple and honest people, whose ignorance is far more valuable than our knowledge, let us remain silent and content with our own small world, Be as gentle and gentle as they are. This is the wisdom of life.
