A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信仰

Faith enables many of us to endure life's difficulties with an equanimity that would be scarcely conceivable in a world lit only by reason.
信仰使我们中的许多人能够平静地忍受生活中的困难,这在一个只有理性才能照亮的世界里是难以想象的。

不朽生命这一荒谬观念的起源很容易发现;它是靠希望和恐惧、幼稚的信念和怯懦而保持活力的。
It seems to me some people just go around looking to get their faith unsettled. That has been the fashion for the last hundred years or so.

All faith consists essentially in the recognition of a world of spiritual values behind, yet not apart from, the world of natural phenomena.
所有的信仰本质上都是承认在自然现象的世界的后面,而不是在自然现象的世界之外,存在着一个具有精神价值的世界。

It is not to be forgotten that what we call rational grounds for our beliefs are often extremely irrational attempts to justify our instincts.
不可忘记的是,我们所谓的信仰的理性基础,往往是为我们的本能辩护的极度非理性的尝试。
Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.

Faith is not about finding meaning in the world, there may be no such thing -- faith is the belief in our capacity to create meaningful lives.
信仰不是在这个世界上寻找意义,也许根本就没有这样的东西——信仰是相信我们有能力创造有意义的生活。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Faith that it's not always in your hands or things don't always go the way you planned, but you have to have faith that there is a plan for you, and you must follow your heart and believe in yourself no matter what.
相信它并不总是在你的手中,或者事情并不总是按照你的计划进行,但是你必须相信,有一个为你而设的计划,无论如何,你必须跟随自己的内心,相信自己。

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
所有的金子都不会发光, 并不是所有流浪的人都迷路了; 强壮的老人不会枯萎, 霜打不到深根。 将从灰烬中唤醒一团火, 从阴影里射出的光; 折断的刀必重新折断, 无冕者将再次称王。
Faith does not need to push the river because faith is able to trust that there is a river. The river is flowing. We are in it.
信心不需要推河,因为信心能够相信有一条河。河水在流动。我们身处其中。
