A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
道德
Ethics
The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.
有些理想曾为我们引过道路，并不断给我新的勇气以欣然面对人生，那些理想就是真、善和美……在我看来，人类奋斗的普通目标——财产、表面上的成功、奢侈——总是可鄙的。
I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.
在我的一生中，我学到了两个教训:第一，对于人类悲剧，没有足够的文学、心理或历史答案，只有道德答案。第二，正如绝望只能从别人那里得到一样，希望也只能从别人那里得到。
We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or any one class. But we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having.
我们已经学会说，只有把善扩展到整个社会，才能使任何一个人或任何一个阶层得到保障。但是，我们还没有学会给这句话加上一句:除非所有的人、所有的阶级都为一件好事做出贡献，否则我们甚至不能肯定它是否值得拥有。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The immorality of morality.
道德中的不道德。
In a situation where many national leaders do the same thing and look out for national interests, and with an issue like global warming, you're likely to get no solution, so I think you have to have some kind of ethical trump on some of those issues.
在很多国家领导人都在做同样的事情，为国家利益着想的情况下，在全球变暖这样的问题上，你很可能得不到解决方案，所以我认为你必须在这些问题上有某种道德上的特朗普。
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life
我们将黄金法则铭记于心;现在让我们把它投入生活
The power of choosing good and evil is within the reach of all.
选择善与恶的能力是每个人都能做到的。
Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high-minded than gallerists.
当然，艺术界的道德规范很重要。但博物馆并不比任何其他机构或企业更纯粹。学者并不一定比画廊家高尚。
Reason guides our attempt to understand the world about us. Both reason and compassion guide our efforts to apply that knowledge ethically, to understand other people, and have ethical relationships with other people.
理性引导我们试图了解周围的世界。理性和同情心都引导我们努力将知识运用到道德上，去理解他人，并与他人建立道德关系。
