你不能期望别人做什么。是你，是你自己，是你自己，你必须对你自己提出很多要求。这样，你就可以决定——你自己的选择——你从别人那里得到的仍然是一份礼物，一份礼物。

Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them -- and then, the opportunity to choose.

One ship sails East, And another West, By the self-same winds that blow, Tis the set of the sails And not the gales, That tells the way we go. Like the winds of the sea Are the waves of time, As we journey along through life, Tis the set of the soul, That determines the goal, And not the calm or the strife.
一艘船向东航行， 和另一个西方, 同样的风吹过， 这是张帆 不是大风， 告诉我们该怎么走。 就像海风吹过 是时间的波浪， 在人生旅途中， 这是灵魂的集合， 这决定了目标， 而不是平静或冲突。
