A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
慷慨
Generosity
No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
至今还没有人意识到，一个孩子的灵魂中隐藏着丰富的同情、善良和慷慨。每一个真正的教育都应该努力去发掘这种宝藏。
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else.
有一个奇妙的神话般的自然法则，我们在生活中最渴望的三样东西——幸福、自由和内心的平静——总是通过给予别人而得到的。
Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.
在你的生活中为重要的事情腾出空间，为家人和朋友，为爱和慷慨，为乐趣和喜悦。没有这些，你会在职业生涯中期筋疲力尽，不知道自己的人生去向。
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
一个人不一定生来就有勇气，但他天生就有潜力。没有勇气，我们就不能持之以恒地实践任何其他美德。我们不能善良、真诚、仁慈、慷慨或诚实。
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

It is not possible, given any degree of optimism and generosity in regard to people in general, to set a time limit on creative reflection or a limitation on the number of people involved in the creation.

So I would hope they would develop some kind of habit that involves understanding that their life is so full they can afford to give in all kinds of ways to other people. I consider that to be baseline spirituality.
所以我希望他们能养成一种习惯，让他们明白他们的生活是如此的充实，以至于他们能够以各种方式给予他人。我认为这是灵性的底线。
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
经常开怀大笑;赢得聪明人的尊重和孩子们的喜爱…让世界变得更美好…要知道，即使只有一个生命因为你的存在而变得更轻松。这就是成功。
Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.
送礼物是一种天赋;要知道一个人想要什么，知道何时以及如何得到它，要充满爱心地把它给予他人。除非一个角色拥有这种天赋，否则没有比接受和给予礼物更容易毁灭的时刻了。
Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.
我们为别人做的任何普通的帮助，或任何富有同情心的伸出援手，一开始似乎都不会有什么结果，但可能正在播下一颗我们现在看不到的种子。有时候，我们需要做的只是尽我们所能，然后相信一个我们无法设计或注定的展开。

Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing

Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
慷慨不是给我比你更需要的东西，而是给我你比我更需要的东西。
Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.
