Suffice it to say：it is an expression used to indicate that one is providing enough information or detail for the point to be understood, without going into full detail or further explanation. It’s a way of saying, “It’s enough to mention” or “It should be clear from this.” （表示提供足够信息以使人理解，而无需进一步详细说明的表达方式。它的意思类似于“这样表达应该足够”或“从这点上应该很清楚”。）

今日引语推荐（The Wings of the Dove）
“She had been taught to fear failure, to shun it like a disease, but now she realized that failure was not an end, but a beginning. Every failure carried with it the seed of a lesson, a chance to start again with more wisdom and less pride. The real failure was in not trying, in letting the fear of defeat keep one from ever stepping onto the path.”
她曾经被教导要害怕失败，像避开疾病一样避开它，但现在她明白了，失败并不是终点，而是一个开始。每一次失败都带着一粒教训的种子，是一个机会，可以带着更多的智慧和更少的傲慢重新开始。真正的失败是在于不去尝试，让对失败的恐惧阻止自己踏上道路。
“The paradox of life, she mused, was that the more one clung to control, the more chaotic everything seemed to become. It was only in the act of surrender, of letting go of the need to dictate every outcome, that peace could be found. True strength lay not in the power to command, but in the grace to adapt.”
“她沉思，生活的悖论在于，一个人越是紧紧抓住控制，事情似乎就越混乱。只有在放手、不再需要掌控每一个结果的那一刻，平静才能找到。真正的力量不在于掌控事态的能力，而在于适应变化的优雅。”
