A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
命运
Destiny
Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.
意外的惊喜。寻找一些东西,再寻找一些其他的东西,然后意识到你所找到的比你想象的更适合你的需求。
There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case.
对任何物理理论来说,没有比这更公平的命运了:它应该为一种更全面的理论指明道路,在这种理论中,它作为一种极限情况而存在。
Destiny is something not be to desired and not to be avoided. a mystery not contrary to reason, for it implies that the world, and the course of human history, have meaning.
命运是一种不值得追求和避免的东西。这是一种不违背理性的神秘,因为它暗示着世界和人类历史的进程是有意义的。
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide problems are your own. You do not blame them on anyone or anything. You realize that you control your own destiny.
人生中最美好的几年,是你决定问题是你自己的时候。你不能把他们归咎于任何人或任何事。你意识到你掌握了自己的命运。
Concerning God, freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be, all that vain men imagine or believe, or hope can paint or suffering may achieve, we descanted.

I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.
我不相信人死后还有生命。但我相信有一种残酷的命运在地球上守护着我们。如果我不这样做,安全阀就会失灵,锅炉就会爆炸。
Absolute certainty is not something I strive for anymore. I've learned the hard way that destiny usually looks upon our most strident convictions with amusement, or perhaps even pity.

I don't think that a leader can control, to any great extent, his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.

I think that you have to believe in your destiny; that you will succeed, you will meet a lot of rejection and it is not always a straight path, there will be detours - so enjoy the view.

When people walk away from you, let them go your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.
当人们离开你的时候,让他们离开你。你的命运永远不会和离开你的人联系在一起,这并不意味着他们是坏人。这只是意味着他们在你故事中的角色结束了。
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
任何地方的不公正对任何地方的正义都是一种威胁。我们被困在一个不可逃避的相互联系的网络中,被命运的一件外衣所束缚。任何直接影响一个人的东西,都会间接地影响所有人。
It was always my dream to be a director. A lot of it had to do with controlling my own destiny, because as a young actor you feel at everyone's disposal. But I wanted to become a leader in the business.
当导演一直是我的梦想。这在很大程度上与控制我自己的命运有关,因为作为一个年轻的演员,你觉得每个人都可以为所欲为。但我想成为这个行业的领导者。
