Providence has nothing good or high in store for one who does not resolutely aim at something high or good. A purpose is the eternal condition of success.

  • -- Thornton Wilder 桑顿·怀尔德

如果一个人不坚定地追求崇高或美好的目标，上帝不会为他留下任何美好或崇高的东西。目标是成功的永恒条件。

Spirituality does two things for you. One, you are forced to become more selfless, two, you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements, doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.

灵性为你做了两件事。第一，你被迫变得更加无私;第二，你相信上帝。精神上的人的对立面是唯物主义者。如果我是个唯物主义者，我会通过做代言、做板球评论赚很多钱。我对此不感兴趣。
