Every tragedy makes heroes of common people. (Normna Stephens, American writer) 每场悲剧都会在平凡的人中造就出英雄来。 (美国作家 斯蒂芬斯 N) 每日小格言：当你微笑时，世界会爱你；当你大笑时，世界则会害怕你！ Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; thefreedom to choose his attitude in any given set ofcircumstances. Faith is the bird that feels the light when the down isstill dark. The very reputation of being strong-willed, plucky, andindefatigable is of priceless value. If your ship doesn't come in , swim out to it! Whenever you have an aim you must sacrifice somethingof freedom to attain it. We always have time enough, if we will but use italright. Have anaim in life, or your energies will all be wasted. There isno paradise on earth equal to the union of love andinnocence. As fruitneeds not only sunshine but cold nights and chilling showers toripen it, so character needs not only joy but trial and difficultyto mellow it. Althoughthe world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcomingof it. Almost anysituation---good or bad ---is affected by the attitude we bringto. Adversityreveals genius; fortune conceals it. Love is anendless mystery, for it has nothing else to Words maybe false and full of arts ,sighs are the natural language of theheart. Experiencewithout learning is better than learning withoutexcperi-ence. Hope isitself a species of happiness, and perhaps the chief happinesswhich this world affords. To bewithout some of the things you wan is an indispensable part ofhappiness. A man diesoften as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by new contacts,new friends. We chooseour friends by instinct, but we keep them by judgement. I do notlike work ---no man does --but I like what is in the work -----thechance to find your self. Ifind life an exciting business and most exciting when it is livedfor others.
Coward diemany times before their death. We have nomore right to consume happiness without producing it than toconsume wealth without producing it. Nothing ismore fatal to happiness than the remembrance of happiness. No man ishappy who does not think himself so. It isbetter to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it atall. Theimportant thing in life is to have a great aim, and thedetermination to attain it. Life isnot all cakes and ale. Isucceeded because I willed it; I never hesitated. It isbetter to die on your feet than to live on your knees. Courage isresistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear. Nothing inall the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance andconscientious stupidity. Appearances often are deceiving. Every manis the master of his own fortune.
Youshould, like a candle, burn out yourself to give light toothers. Happinesstakes no account of time. Eat tolive, but do not live to eat. Talkingmuch about oneself may be a way of hiding oneself. Civilityis not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject toproof. An honestman's the noblest work of God. Books arethe ever-burning lamps of accumulated wisdom.
The greatend of life is not knowledge but action. Saying anddoing are two different things. He whowould search for pearls must dive below. Action isconsolatory. It is the enemy of thought and the friend offlattering illusions. Genius isone percent inspiration and ninety – nine percentperspiration. He who hasa thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has oneenemy will meet him everywhere.
It mattersnot how a man dies, but how he lives. Withoutart the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
A greatpoem is a fountain forever overflowing with the waters of wisdomand delight. If wecommand our wealth, we shall be rich and free, if our wealthcommands us, we are poor indeed. If you getsimple beauty and nought else, you get about the best things Godinvents. "Beauty istruth, truth beauty," ----that is all we know on earth, and all weneed to know. Ideals are likestars --- we never reach them, but like This communicating of aman's self to his friend works two contrary effects, for itredoubleth joys, and cutteth grief in half. —— Francis Bacon 朋友之间的交往产生两种截然相反的结果：一份快乐两人分享，能成为双份的快乐；一份痛苦二人分担，就会只剩下一半痛苦。 ——弗朗西斯·培根 The reading of all goodbooks is like a conversation with the finest men of pastcenturies. —— Rene Descartes 读好书，如同与先哲们交谈。 ——笛卡尔 New love is brightest,and long love is greatest; but revived love is the tenderest thingknown upon earth. —— Thomas Hardy 新生的爱情绚丽多彩，长久的爱情崇高伟大；但复苏的爱情则是世界上最温柔的事情。 ——托马斯·哈代 Let the dead have theimmortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love. —— Tagore 让逝者拥有不朽的荣誉，让生者拥有不朽的爱情。 ——泰戈尔 On the great clock oftime there is but one word, "now". —— William Shakespeare 伟大的时钟上，只有一个词：“现在”。 ——莎士比亚 The language offriendship is not words but meanings. —— Henry D. Thoreau 友谊的语言不是词句，而是意义。 ——H·D·梭罗 All great truths are obvious truths. But no allobvcious truths are great truths. —— A. Huxley 伟大的真理都是明摆着的事实，但并不是所有显而易见的事实都是伟大的真理。 ——A·赫胥黎 My honor ismy life, both grow in one; take honor from me, and my life isdone. What we want is to see thechild in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit ofchild. In life, asin chess, forethought wins. We may giveadvice, but we can't give conduct. The safety ofthe people is the highest law. Take time todeliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking andgo in. "Beauty istruth, truth beauty," ----that is all we know on earth, and all weneed to know. As selfishness andcomplaint cloud the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpensthe vision. Loveliness, needs not theforeign aid of ornament, but is when unadorn'd, adorn'd themost. Love should be a treewhose roots are deep in the earth,but whose branches extend intoheaven. If a man does not make newacquaintance as he advances Early to bed and early torise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. He is the richest who iscontent with the least, for content
It is wiser being goodthan bad; It is safer being meek than fierce; It is fitter beingsane than mad.
Some books are to betasted, others to be swallowed,and some few to be chewed anddigested. He who loses wealth losesmuch; he who loses a friend loses more; he who loses courage losesall. Nothing is beneath you ifit is in the direction of your life. Truthdoes not lie beyond humanity, but is one of the products of thehuman minded feelings. —— D.H.Lowrence 真理不能超越人性，但它是创造人类感情的产物之一。 —— D.H.劳伦斯
Shallowmen believe in luck. Self-trust is the first secret ofsuccess. Hatredparalyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life;loveharmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it. Fromsuccess you get a lot of things, but not that great All loveis sweet, given or returned. Common as light is loved, and itsfamiliar voice wearies not ever.
Hope isthe thing with feather that perches in the soul. Dare andthe world always yields. If it beats you sometimes, dare it againand again and it will succumb.
All booksare divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and thebooks of all time. To loveand to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence. Chancefavours the minds that are prepared.
Dictionaries are like watches; the worst isbetter than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quitetrue. 字典和时钟一样，最坏的一种也有胜于无，而最好的一种也不能认为是十分准确的。 Ideals are like stars--- we never reach them, but like mariners, we chart our course by them. —— C. Schurz 人之需要理想，犹如水手之需要星辰；星辰虽不可及，但可以指引我们的航程。 —— 舒尔茨 My honor is my life,both grow in one; take honor from me, and my life is done. ——Shakespeare 我的荣誉就是我的生命，两者共长一体；若取走我的荣誉，我的生命也就结束了。 ——莎士比亚 What we want is to seethe child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit ofchild. ——G.B. Shaw 我们希望看到孩子追求知识，而不是知识追求孩子。 ——肖伯纳 In life, as in chess,forethought wins. ——Charles Buxton (1823-1871) 人生如下棋，多思则能胜。 ——查尔斯·巴克斯顿 We may give advice, butwe can't give conduct. ——Franklin 我们可以给忠告，但是我们不能给指挥。 ——富兰克林
The safety of the peopleis the highest law.
When all is consumed,repentance comes too late. Youth is a blunder;manhood a struggle, old age a regret. There is but one step fromthe sublime to the ridiculous.
Appearances are not heldto be a clue to the truth…. But we seem to have no other. No cross, no crown. A little of everything,and nothing at all. Home is the place where,when you have to go there, they have to take you in. Nothing is impossible to awilling heart. He that can have patience,can have what he wills. A good mother is worth ahundred schoolmasters. Virtue is to herself thebest reward.
All happy families arelike one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its ownway.
You could cover the wholeworld with asphalt, but sooner or later green grass would breakthrough. Liberty meansresponsibility. That is why most men dread it. As a rough rind sometimescovers the sweetest fruit, so a rough exterior often conceals akindly and hearty nature. The countenance is theportrait of the mind, the eyes are its informers. God gives every bird itsfood, but does not throw it into the nest. Riches are gotten withpain, kept with care, and lost with grief.
Learning is an ornament inprosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in oldage. If well used, books arethe best of all things; if abused, among the worst. Money cancure hunger, it cannot cure unhappiness.Food can satisfy theappetite, but not the soul. Be slow in choosing afriend; slower in changing. Living without an aim islike sailing without a compass. Of all the possessions ofthis life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into thedust, the great name still lives. |
