Creed
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
不断的发展是生活的规律，一个人总是试图保持他的教条，以表现一致，使自己进入一个错误的位置。
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
我们应该想想，每一天，如果我们没有跳过一次舞，就会失去意义。我们应该称每一个真理为假的，而不是伴随着至少一个笑声。

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away."

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy
耶和华阿，求你使我作你平安的器皿。哪里有仇恨，就让我播下爱的种子;哪里有伤害，哪里就宽恕;哪里有怀疑，哪里就有信仰;哪里有绝望，哪里就有希望;哪里有黑暗，哪里就有光明;哪里有悲伤，哪里就有快乐
A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Nothing else matters much -- not wealth, nor learning, nor even health -- without this gift: the spiritual capacity to keep zest in living. This is the creed of creeds, the final deposit and distillation of all important faiths: that you should be able to believe in life.
没有这一天赋——保持生活热情的精神能力，没有什么比财富、学识甚至健康更重要的了。这是信条的信条，是所有重要信仰的最终沉淀和升华:你应该能够相信生活。
However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧。不要麻烦自己去找新的东西，无论是衣服还是朋友。万物不变，是我们在变。卖掉你的衣服，保留你的思想。
Never forget that the purpose for which a man lives is the improvement of the man himself, so that he may go out of this world having, in his great sphere or his small one, done some little good for his fellow creatures and labored a little to diminish the sin and sorrow that are in the world.
不要忘记一个人的生活的目的是改善人类自身,所以,他可能离开这个世界,在他伟大的球或小,做一些有利于他的生物和有点困难减少世界上的罪恶和悲伤。
