A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信仰
Faith
That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs, but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves.
这并不是说我们可以放松对自卫的准备。我们的军备必须足以满足需要,但我们的信念主要不在于这些防御机器,而在于我们自己。
The parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptical, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists.
父母有权说,任何用他们的钱雇来的老师都不能剥夺孩子对上帝的信仰,把他们送回家中,让他们成为怀疑论者、异教徒、不可知论者或无神论者。
He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
有信仰的人就有……一种内在的勇气、希望、自信、冷静和自信的储藏库,相信一切都会好起来——即使对世界来说,结果可能是最糟糕的。
And as the Divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
因为从主所出的神,就是仁爱的善,和真道,所以天使就是天使,在他们领受主所赐的善和真道上,他们就是天堂。
It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.
当我想起主,就是我以谦卑和孩童般的信心亲近的主,曾为我受苦,为我死,他必以慈爱和怜悯看顾我,这对我是极大的安慰。
Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.
信仰包含着对终极现实的极度关注,我将上帝的象征性名字赋予了终极现实。认真思考生命意义的人,就处在信仰的边缘。
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.
让你的梦想充满活力。理解要实现任何事情都需要对自己有信心,有远见,努力工作,有决心,有奉献精神。记住,对那些相信的人来说,一切皆有可能。
I am prejudiced in favor of him who, without impudence, can ask boldly. He has faith in humanity, and faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to giving grandly can ask nobly and with boldness.
我对那些敢于大胆要求的人怀有偏见。他对人性有信心,对自己也有信心。不习惯慷慨布施的人,是不能大胆要求的。
Man is manifestly not the measure of all things. This universe is shot through with mystery. The very fact of its being, and of our own, is a mystery absolute, and the only miracle worthy of the name.
人显然不是万物的尺度。这个宇宙充满了神秘。它的存在,以及我们自己的存在,本身就是一个绝对的谜,是唯一值得我们称之为奇迹的东西。
One must be thrust out of a finished cycle in life, and that leap is the most difficult to make-to part with one's faith, one's love, when one would prefer to renew the faith and recreate the passion.
一个人必须从生命中一个已完成的循环中被推出去,而当一个人想要更新信仰和重新创造激情时,要想放弃自己的信仰和爱是最困难的。
If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power.
即使是在科学领域,也没有一种方法来判断一个理论,而只能通过评估其支持者的数量、信仰和声音能量来判断,那么在社会科学领域,情况更是如此:真理在于力量。
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
有一天,在掌握了风、浪、潮汐和重力之后,我们将为上帝驾驭爱的能量,然后,人类将在世界历史上第二次发现火。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith.
怀疑不是信仰的对立面;这是信仰的一个要素。
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。
If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.
如果你想要一个忠心的仆人,一个你喜欢的仆人,那就自己服侍自己吧。
Amidst the confusion of the times, the conflicts of conscience, and the turmoil of daily living, an abiding faith becomes an anchor to our lives.
在时代的混乱、良心的冲突、日常生活的纷扰中,恒久的信仰成为我们生活的锚。
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
爱意味着爱不可爱的人。宽恕意味着宽恕不可宽恕的人。信仰意味着相信难以置信的事情。希望就是当一切看起来都没有希望的时候还抱有希望。
Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and have faith enough to know God will be there to help you.
有时候,你必须大胆地去相信,要有足够的信心知道神会在那里帮助你。
