A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
每一个
Every
Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.
每一门科学的基础都有一套固定不变的原则体系,就像宇宙受到这些原则的制约和支配一样。人不能制定原则;他只能发现它们。
Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.
每一个事实一方面与感觉有关,另一方面又与道德有关。思想的游戏是,在这两方面的一个方面出现后,找到另一个方面:给定上面的一面,找到下面的一面。
No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one's sentiments may be, if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one's character may remain entirely unaffected for the better.
无论一个人拥有多么丰富的格言,无论一个人的情绪多么好,如果一个人没有利用每一个具体的机会去行动,他的性格可能会完全不受影响,变得更好。
We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
我们称失去父亲的人为孤儿;一个失去妻子的鳏夫。但是,这个人知道失去朋友的巨大痛苦,我们用什么名字称呼他呢?在这里,每一种语言都是沉默的,在无能为力中保持着平静。

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
