To the ambitious man life is a brilliant game--a game that calls forth all his tact and energy and nerve--a game to be won, in the long run, by the quick eye and the steady hand, and yet having sufficient chance about its working out to give it all the glorious zest of uncertainty.

对有抱负的人而言，人生是一场精彩的游戏：它调动全部机智、精力与胆识，最终须靠敏锐的眼光和稳定的双手取胜，却又保留足够的偶然，使不确定性充满迷人的趣味。
