安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
He had a heroine in his wife. She it was who sustained him and traveled the world round with him as his guardian angel, and enabled him to conquer as Sir Walter did. This he never failed to tell to his intimates. Never in my life did three words leave so keen a pang as those uttered upon my first call after Mrs. Clemens passed away. I fortunately found him alone and while my hand was still in his, and before one word had been spoken by either, there came from him, with a stronger pressure of my hand, these words: "A ruined home, a ruined home." The silence was unbroken. I write this years after, but still I hear the words again and my heart responds.

白话
马克·吐温背后有一位英雄般的妻子。她支持他，陪他走遍世界，像守护天使一样，让他能像司各特爵士那样战胜困难。吐温对亲近的人从不隐瞒这一点。卡内基回忆，吐温妻子去世后他第一次去探望，两人还没开口，吐温紧紧握着他的手说：“一个破碎的家，一个破碎的家。”多年后卡内基写自传时，这句话仍在他耳边回响。真正的伴侣是彼此的后盾，而失去至亲的痛，语言无法安慰，陪伴和沉默就是最好的支持。
