When I was young I was sure of everything; in a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before; at present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed.

  • -- John Wesley 约翰·韦斯利

当我年轻的时候,我对一切都很有把握;在几年的时间里,我犯了一千次错误,对大多数事情都不像以前那样半信半疑了。目前,除了神所启示的以外,我对任何事情都没有把握。
