A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Us
Lying can never save us from another lie.
谎言永远不能把我们从另一个谎言中拯救出来。
Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.
除了你自己，不要提防任何人;我们最大的敌人就在我们内心。
A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it.
预算告诉我们什么是我们负担不起的，但它不会阻止我们购买它。
It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
帮助我们的与其说是朋友的帮助，不如说是他们帮助我们的信心。

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.
告诉我们要服从本能就像告诉我们要服从人一样。人们会说不同的话，直觉也是如此。我们的本能处于战争状态…每一种本能，如果你听从它，都会声称以牺牲其他本能为代价而得到满足。
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us.
你是神的孩子。你的小动作对世界没有好处。为了不让周围的人感到不安全而退缩并不是什么开明的做法。我们生来就是要彰显神在我们里面的荣耀。不仅仅是我们中的一些人。
If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.
如果我们仅仅因为野兽不能阻止我们，因为我们在为生存而斗争中支持自己的一方，那么出于同样的原因而把蠢货、罪犯、敌人或资本家斩了，也就合乎逻辑了。
To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.
以正确的方式让我们感到渺小是艺术的一种功能;男人只会让我们以错误的方式感到渺小。
Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.
我们既看见领航员驾驶我们所驾驶的航船，即使在沉船的时候，他也不让我们灭亡，我们的心就没有理由被恐惧所压倒，被疲惫所压倒。
One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams.
留给我们的最冒险的事情之一就是上床睡觉。因为没有人能阻止我们的梦想。
