奥里森·斯威特·马登（Orison Swett Marden）博士是一位美国励志作家，他撰写了关于在人生中取得成功的文章，并于1897年创立了SUCCESS杂志。他的许多思想都基于新思想哲学。
Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
衡量成功的标准不是你取得了什么成就，而是你遇到了什么样的反对，以及你与压倒一切的困难作斗争的勇气。
There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.
你内心有力量，如果你能发现和使用，你会创造你曾经梦想过或想象中的一切。
Strength of will is the test of a young man's possibilities. Can he will strong enough and hold whatever he undertakes with an iron grip?
意志力是对一个年轻人可能性的考验。他能坚强地抓住他所承担的一切吗？
Whoever uplifts civilization is rich though he die penniless, and future generations will erect his monument.
任何一个提升文明的人，虽然身无分文，但他是富有的，子孙后代将为他立下丰碑。
Put variety into your mental bill of fare as well as into your physical. It will pay you rich returns.
在你的精神账单和身体账单中加入多样性。它会给你丰厚的回报。
Circumstances have rarely favored great men. A lowly beginning is no bar to a great career. The boy who works his way through college may have a hard time of it, but he will learn how to work his way in life, and will usually take higher rank in school and in after life than his classmate who is the son of a millionaire.
环境很少有利于伟人。低微的开端并不妨碍伟大的事业。努力读完大学的男孩也许日子不好过，但他会学会如何在生活中按自己的方式工作，而且通常在学校和以后的生活中都会比他的同学（一个百万富翁的儿子）名列前茅。
The mere fact that so many continue to rise, year after year, out of just such conditions as you may think are fatal to your advancement, ought to convince you that you also can conquer your environment.
仅仅是这样一个事实，这么多人年复一年地继续上升，仅仅是因为你认为这些条件对你的进步是致命的，应该让你相信你也可以征服你的环境。
The great opportunity belongs to him who can see it, to him who can grasp it. The better part of your chance is right inside of you.
大好机会属于能看见它的人，属于能抓住它的人。你最好的机会就在你内心。
