Tito, tired of Stalin's attempts to assassinate him, openly wrote: "Stop sending people to kill me! We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle... If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send a very fast working one to Moscow and I certainly won't have to send another."

对来自斯大林的刺杀已经疲倦的铁托，公开写到：“不要再派人来杀我了。我们已经抓住了五个人，有一个带了炸弹，一个带了来复枪...如果你不停止你对杀手的派遣，我就马上往莫斯科送一个得力的杀手，我保证不用送第二个。”

So Napoleon advanced alone to meet them. Here comes the coolest line in history:

"Soldiers," he cried, "if there is one among you who wants to kill his general, his Emperor, here I am."

Suddenly, the soldiers began cheering wildly, "Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

（拿破仑反攻回巴黎时）他走上前去独自面对守城的士兵。为了测试士兵们会不会杀他，他说出了历史上最酷的一句话：

“士兵们”，他喊道，“如果你们中谁想杀了他的将军，他的皇帝，那么我就在这里了。”

突然间，士兵们开始狂热呼喊，“皇帝万岁。皇帝万岁。”

Famous English poet John Keats travelled to Rome and died there, aged just 25, in February, 1821. He told his friend Joseph that he didn't want his name to appear on his tombstone, but merely this line:

"Here lies one whose name was writ in water."

In life’s grand scheme of things, everything is so transient (just as being written on water) ! This too shall pass.

So poetic and yet so philosophical.

英国著名诗人约翰济慈到罗马旅行，于1821年2月病死在那里，年仅25岁。他对朋友约瑟夫说他不想要他的名字出现在墓碑上，只想要这句话：

“此地长眠者，声名水上书”

在生活广大的范围中，一切事物都是转瞬即逝的（正如写在水面上一样）！这也会逝去。

如此诗意，又如此哲学。
