把这一句，留给此刻的你

I simply haven't the nerve to imagine a being, a force, a cause which keeps the planets revolving in their orbits and then suddenly stops in order to give me a bicycle with three speeds.

我只是没有勇气去想象一个存在，一个力，一个使行星在轨道上旋转的原因，然后为了给我一辆三速自行车而突然停止。

关于学习、善意与成长，读一句，再想一想。

A sound discretion is not so much indicated by never making a mistake as by never repeating it.

明智的谨慎与其说是从不犯错误，不如说是从不重蹈覆辙。

Christian Nestell Bovee 克里斯蒂安·内斯特尔·博维

When you want to encourage a greater sense of responsibility in others and yourself, emphasize the anticipation of accomplishment, not the penalties for failure.

当你想鼓励别人和自己有更强的责任感时，要强调对成就的期待，而不是对失败的惩罚。

Roger Crawford 罗杰·柯劳福

We also learn that this country and the Western world have no monopoly of goodness and truth and scholarship, we begin to appreciate the ingredients that are indispensable to making a better world. In a life of learning that is, perhaps, the greatest lesson of all.

我们还了解到，这个国家和西方世界并不垄断善良、真理和学术，我们开始欣赏那些构成美好世界不可或缺的要素。在学习的一生中，这也许是最重要的一课。
