A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
幸福
Happiness
Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.
快乐，而不是幸福，是生活的目标，因为快乐是伴随我们实现我们作为人类的本性的情感。它是基于一个人作为一个有价值和尊严的存在的身份的经验。
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
即使是幸福的生活也不能没有黑暗，如果没有悲伤来平衡，幸福这个词就失去了意义。耐心和平静会让事情顺其自然。
Worldly wealth is the Devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase, as the moon, when she is fullest, is farthest from the sun.
世俗的财富是魔鬼的诱饵;一般来说，那些以财富为食的人会随着他们财富的增加而远离真正的幸福，就像月亮在它最圆的时候离太阳最远一样。
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
那些决定把休闲作为心智发展手段的人，那些喜欢好音乐、好书、好画、好剧本、好伙伴、好对话的人——他们是什么?他们是世界上最幸福的人。
Hurt is a part of life. To be honest, I think hurt is a part of happiness, that our definition of happiness has gotten very narrow lately, very nervous, a little afraid of this brawling, fabulous, unpredictable world.
伤害是生活的一部分。说实话，我认为伤害是幸福的一部分，我们对幸福的定义最近变得非常狭隘，非常紧张，有点害怕这个吵吵嚷嚷、难以置信、无法预测的世界。
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
有两种幸福的方式:我们必须要么减少我们的欲望，要么增加我们的手段——任何一种都可以——结果都是一样的，这是由每个人自己决定的，做那些碰巧更容易的事情。
Happiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.
幸福就像一只蝴蝶，你不能追逐它。如果你一动也不动，它就会落到你手上。但只是短暂的。品味这些时刻，因为它们不会经常出现在你的面前。
If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true; this I have learnt after suffering all my life; all else is mere moonshine. . . .
如果在这个地狱般的世界里，一个人能给一个人的内心带来哪怕是一天的快乐与和平，那么孤独就是真实的;这是我在经历了一生的苦难之后学会的;其他一切都不过是月光……
The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.
一个人如果把一切通向幸福的道路都建立在他自己而不是别人的身上，那么他就已经采纳了最好的幸福生活计划。这是一个有节制的人，一个有男子气概和智慧的人。
The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.
我们贫穷的原因是我们没有想象力。有很多人在积累他们认为是巨大的财富，但那只是钱……他们不知道如何享受它，因为他们没有想象力。
Death just comes, not happiness. Because when you're trying to find happiness, you're trying to navigate a very, very murky minefield of distractions, of disappointments, of deceptions. That's why you have to work on happiness.
死亡来了，而不是幸福。因为当你试图寻找快乐的时候，你是在一个非常、非常模糊的雷区中航行，雷区充满了干扰、失望和欺骗。这就是为什么你必须为幸福而努力。
We hear of the wealth of nations, of the powers of production, of the demand and supply of markets, and we forget that these words mean no more, if they mean any thing, then the happiness, and the labor, and the necessities of men.
我们听说过国富论、生产能力论、市场供求论，却忘记了这些词不再有任何意义，如果它们有任何意义的话，那么人类的幸福、劳动和必需品也就不再有任何意义了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
幸福既不是美德，也不是快乐，既不是这个也不是那个，而是单纯的成长。
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
只有当你慷慨地同意分享你的成功和幸福时，你的成功和幸福才会被原谅。
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
幸福取决于我们自己。
The world is full of a lot of fear and a lot of negativity, and a lot of judgment. I just think people need to start shifting into joy and happiness. As corny as it sounds, we need to make a shift.
这个世界充满了很多恐惧，很多消极的东西，还有很多的判断。我只是认为人们需要开始转向快乐和幸福。虽然听起来很老套，但我们需要做出改变。
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
生命中只有一种幸福，那就是爱与被爱。
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
幸福，不是在别的地方，而是在这个地方……不是再等一个小时，而是这个小时。
