2. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Origin
This saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC in Greek. It didn't appear in its current form in print until the 19th century, but in the meantime there were various written forms that expressed much the same thought. In 1588, the English dramatist John Lyly, in his Euphues and his England, wrote:
"...as neere is Fancie to Beautie, as the pricke to the Rose, as the stalke to the rynde, as the earth to the roote."
Shakespeare expressed a similar sentiment in Love's Labours Lost, 1588:
Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,
Needs not the painted flourish of your praise:
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,
Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues

標題句：No matter what you do, you'll succeed if you don't give up.
結 構：連接詞 no matter what/who/when/which/where/how 的用法
no matter 的對應中文是「無論 ...」，它和其他疑問詞連用，就產生了底下的意思：
例：
1. No matter what he says, don't believe him.（不管他說什麼，不要相信他。） = Don't believe him no matter what he says.
2. No matter when you arrive here, just call me.（不管你什麼時候到這裡，打電話給我就對了。）
= Just call me no matter when you arrive here.
例：
3. No matter how fast you drive, it'll take you at least 2 hours from here to there. （無論你開得多快，從這裡到那裡，至少得開二個鐘頭。）
4. No matter which book she took, she should ask her boss.
（無論她拿的是哪一本書，她應該要問她的老闆一下。）
▲ no matter what/who/when/which/where/how... 連接詞和 if（假如）/when（當...的時候）一樣，其後所接的時間是「未來」時，「須用現在單純式代替未來式」。
例：
5. No matter where he goes, we will follow him.（無論他到哪裡，我們都會跟隨著他。）
6. Mr. White will buy that beautiful house no matter how much it is.（無論那棟漂亮房子有多貴，White 先生都會買下來。）
