把这一句,留给此刻的你

All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient.

一切行动都是为了某种目的;我们似乎很自然地认为,行动的规则必须从它们服从的目的出发,发挥它们的全部性质和色彩。

— John Stuart Mill 约翰·斯图尔特·密尔

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。

关于学习、善意与成长,读一句,再想一想。

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

如果一个社会因为铅管是一项卑贱的活动而蔑视铅管的卓越,又因为哲学是一项崇高的活动而容忍哲学的粗鄙,那么这个社会既不会有好的铅管,也不会有好的哲学。它的管道和理论都站不住脚。
