KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why, when I am in special need of help, the good deed is usually done by somebody on whom I have no claim.
一直困扰我一生的一个问题是,为什么当我特别需要帮助时,做好事的人往往是我无权要求帮助的人。
The man of sensibility is too busy talking about his feelings to have time for good deeds.
有情感的人忙于谈论自己的感受,无暇去做善事。
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
我们活在行动中,而不是岁月;在思想中,不是表盘上的数字。我们应该用心跳来计算时间。想得最多的人,感觉最高尚的人,做得最好的人。
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
我们的行为掩饰了我们。人们需要无尽的时间去尝试他们的行为,直到每个人都知道该做什么。但是每一天,每一个小时,都在匆匆而过。没有时间了。
Fate is nothing but the deeds committed in a prior state of existence.
命运不过是在先前存在状态下所做的行为。
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
