All that is beautiful poems and passages of life things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 萬物不變,是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉,但要保留你的思想
Think it over... 好好想想„„
today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view; 今天我們擁有了更高層的樓宇以及更寬闊的公路,但是我們的性情卻更為急躁,眼光也更加狹隘;
we spend more, but enjoy less; 我們消耗的更多,享受到的卻更少;
we have bigger houses, but smaller families; 我們的住房更大了,但我們的家庭卻更小了; we have more compromises, but less time; 我們妥協更多,時間更少;
we have more knowledge, but less judgment; 我們擁有了更多的知識,可判斷力卻更差了;
we have more medicines, but less health; 我們有了更多的葯品,但健康狀況卻更不如意; we have multiplied out possessions, but reced out values; 我們擁有的財富倍增,但其價值卻減少了;
we talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much; we reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors; we have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space; we have higher income, but less morals; these are times with more liberty, but less joy; we have much more food, but less nutrition; these are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase; these are times of finer houses, but more broken homes; All that is beautiful poems and passages of life things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. That』s why I propose, that as of today; You do not keep anything for a special occasion. Because every day that you live is a special occasion. search for knowledge, read more ,sit on your porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs; spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love; life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival; use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it. Remove from your vocabulary phrases like 「one of these days 「or "someday"; let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"! let's tell our families and friends how much we love them; do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life; every day, every hour, and every minute is special; and you don't know if it will be your last.
我們說的多了,愛的卻少了,我們的仇恨也更多了; 我們可以往返月球,但卻難以邁出一步去親近我們的左鄰右舍;我們可以征服外太空,卻征服不了我們的內心;我們的收入增加了,但我們的道德卻少了;我們的時代更加自由了,但我們擁有的快樂時光卻越來越少;我們有了更多的食物,但所能得到的營養卻越來越少了;現在每個家庭都可以有雙份收入,但離婚的現象越來越多了;現在的住房越來越精緻,但我們也有了更多破碎的家庭;這就是我為什麼要說,讓我們從今天開始;不要將你的東西為了某一個特別的時刻而預留著,因為你生活的每一天都是那麼特別;尋找更多的知識,多讀一些書,坐在你家的前廊里,以贊美的眼光去享受眼前的風景,不要帶上任何功利的想法;花多點時間和朋友與家人在一起,吃你愛吃的食物,去你想去的地方;生活是一串串的快樂時光;我們不僅僅是為了生存而生存;舉起你的水晶酒杯吧。不要吝嗇灑上你最好的香水,你想用的時候就享用吧!從你的詞彙庫中移去所謂的「有那麼一天」或者「某一天」;曾打算「有那麼一天」去寫的信,就在今天吧!告訴家人和朋友,我們是多麼地愛他們;

I take pride in this great wall, and I plaster it with st and sand lest a least hole should be left in this name; and for all the care I take I lose sight of my true being.
9、
我獨自去赴幽會.是誰在暗寂中跟著我呢?
我走開躲他,但是我逃不掉.
他昂首闊步,使地上塵土飛揚;我說出的每一個字里,都摻雜著他的喊叫.
他就是我的小我,我的主,他恬不知恥;但和他一同到你門前,我卻感到羞愧. I came out alone on my way to my tryst. But who is this that follows me in the silent dark? I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.
He makes the st rise from the earth with his swagger; he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.
He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame; but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company.
10、As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inex-haustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
學習之於心靈,就像食物之於身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養食物,我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發達。 同樣地,我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們心智的敏銳,並擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用之不盡的燃料,來驅使我們磨礪我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續的學習是在信息時代中跟時代井駕齊驅的最穩當的方法,也是在變動的時代中成功的可靠保證。

培根 《論愛情》
The stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For as to the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and now and then of tragedies; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury.舞台上的愛情生活比生活中的愛情要美好得多。因為在舞台上,愛情只是喜劇和悲劇的素材,而在人生中,愛情卻常常招來不幸。它有時象那位誘惑人的魔女,有時又象那位復仇的女神。You may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one, that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion. You must except, nevertheless, Marcus Antonius, the half partner of the empire of Rome, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems (though rarely) that love can find entrance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept.你可以看到,一切真正偉大的人物(無論是古人、今人,只要是其英名永銘於人類記憶中的),沒有一個是因愛情而發狂的人。因為偉大的事業只有羅馬的安東尼和克勞底亞是例外。前者本性就好色荒淫,然而後者卻是嚴肅多謀的人。這說明愛情不僅會佔領開曠坦闊的胸懷,有時也能闖入壁壘森嚴的心靈----假如手御不嚴的話。
It is a poor saying of Epicurus, Satis magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus; as if man, made for the contemplation of heaven, and all noble objects, should do nothing but kneel before a little idol, and make himself a subject, though not of the mouth (as beasts are), yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes.埃辟克拉斯曾說過一句笨話:「人生不過是一座大戲台。」似乎本應努力追求高尚事業的人類,卻只應象玩偶般地逢場作戲。雖然愛情的奴隸並不同於那班只顧吃喝的禽獸,但畢竟也只是眼目色相的奴隸,而上帝賜人以眼睛本來是有更高尚的用途的。
It is a strange thing, to note the excess of this passion, and how it braves the nature, and value of things, by this; that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole, is comely in nothing but in love. Neither is it merely in the phrase; for whereas it hath been well said, that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man』s self; certainly the lover is more. For there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of himself, as the lover doth of the person loved; and therefore it was well said, That it is impossible to love, and to be wise. Neither doth this weakness appear to others only, and not to the party loved; but to the loved most of all, except the love be reciproque. For it is a true rule, that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque, or with an inward and secret contempt.過度的愛情追求,必然會降低人本身的價值。例如,只有在愛情中,才總是需要那種浮誇陷媚的詞令。而在其他場合,同樣的詞令只能招人恥笑。古人有一句名言:「最大的奉承,人總是留給自己的。」----只有對情人的奉承要算例外。因為甚至最驕傲的人,也甘願在情人面前自輕自賤。所以古人說得好:「就是神在愛情中也難保持聰明。」情人的這種弱點不僅在外人眼中是明顯的,就是在被追求者的眼中也會很明顯----除非她(他)也在追求他(她)。所以,愛情的代價就是如此,不能得到回愛,就會得到一種深藏於心的輕蔑,這是一條永真的定律。
By how much the more, men ought to beware of this passion, which loseth not only other things, but itself! As for the other losses, the poet』s relation doth well figure them: that he that preferred Helena, quitted the gifts of Juno and Pallas. For whosoever esteemeth too much of amorous affection, quitteth both riches and wisdom.由此可見,人們應當十分警惕這種感情。因為它不但會使人喪失其他,而且可以使人喪失自己本身。甚至其他方面的損失,古詩人早告訴我們,那追求海倫的人,是放棄了財富和智慧的。
This passion hath his floods, in very times of weakness; which are great prosperity, and great adversity; though this latter hath been less observed: both which times kindle love, and make it more fervent, and therefore show it to be the child of folly. They do best, who if they cannot but admit love, yet make it keep quarters; and sever it wholly from their serious affairs, and actions, of life; for if it check once with business, it troubles men's fortunes, and make men, that they can no ways be true to their own ends.當人心最軟弱的時候,愛情最容易入侵。再就是人春風得意,忘乎所以的獨守困窘,孤獨凄時,雖然後者未必然得到愛情。人在這樣的時候最容易跳進愛情的火焰,由此可見,「愛情」實在是「愚蠢」的兒子。但有一些人,即使心中有了愛,仍能約束它,使它不妨礙重大的事業。因為,愛情一旦干擾情緒,就會阻礙人堅定的奔向既定的目標。
I know not how, but martial men are given to love: I think, it is but as they are given to wine; for perils commonly ask to be paid in pleasures.我不懂是什麼緣故,使許多軍人更容易墮入情網,也許這正象他們嗜愛飲酒一樣,是因為危險的生活更需要歡樂的補償。
There is in man』s nature, a secret inclination and motion, towards love of others, which if it be not spent upon some one or a few, doth naturally spread itself towards many, and maketh men become humane and charitable; as it is seen sometime in friars.人心中可能普遍具有一種博愛傾向,若不集中於某個專一的對象身上,就必然施之於更廣泛的大眾,使他成為仁善的人,象有的僧侶那樣。
Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton love corrupteth, and embaseth it.夫妻的愛,使人類繁衍。朋友的愛,給人以幫助。但那荒淫縱欲的愛,卻只會使人墮落毀滅啊!
