Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us, then, return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether, if we had had a larger share of ability or stronger health, we should not have possessed them to our destruction.

  • -- Alphonsus Liguori 亚丰索

谁会收到礼物后还想讨价还价呢?那么,让我们感谢上帝赐予我们的一切。谁能说得清,如果我们有更多的能力或更强的健康,我们是否不应该拥有他们,我们的毁灭。
