A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
幸福
Happiness
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
我一生中遇到的最悲伤的人是那些对任何事情都漠不关心的人。激情和满足是相辅相成的，没有它们，任何幸福都只是暂时的，因为没有什么能让它持久。
The last few years have been my happiest. I'm happy in the years that most people are blue and sad and waiting to die. I don't feel that a bit. Smiling has a lot to do with it. You can just lift your spirits by smiling a little bit.
过去的几年是我最快乐的几年。我很高兴在那些年里，大多数人都是蓝色的，悲伤的，等待死亡。我一点也不觉得。微笑与此有很大关系。你只要微微一笑就能使你的精神振作起来。
The pop musicians often leave meaning in the dust and substitute it for cartoons. The deeper artists - the grunge artists in the world and the emoticon people - tend to leave all of the happiness out of life like it just doesn't exist.
流行音乐家常常把意义抛诸脑后，用它来代替卡通片。更深层次的艺术家——世界上的垃圾艺术家和使用表情符号的人——倾向于把生活中所有的快乐都抛在脑后，就好像它根本不存在一样。
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. 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.
有多少个夜晚就有多少个白天，而在一年的进程中，一个夜晚和另一个夜晚一样长。即使是幸福的生活也不能没有黑暗，如果没有悲伤，“幸福”这个词就失去了意义。
True happiness is to understand our duties toward God and man; to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence on the future; not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears, but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is abundantly sufficient.
真正的幸福是明白我们对神和人的责任;享受现在，不焦虑地依赖未来;不要以希望或恐惧为乐，只要满足于我们所拥有的，这就足够了。
A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness; happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one's life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted.
一连串兴奋的、转瞬即逝的、杂七杂八的快乐不是幸福;幸福存在于想象的反思和判断中，当一个人的生活，或人类生活的画面，真实的过去或现在，满足了意志，并被欣然接受。
Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.
实现你的幸福是你生活的唯一道德目标，而幸福，而不是痛苦或盲目的自我放纵，是你道德正直的证明，因为它是你忠诚于实现你的价值观的证明和结果。
If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap. If you want happiness for a day - go fishing. If you want happiness for a month - get married. If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else.
如果你想快乐一小时，那就打个盹吧。如果你想快乐一天，去钓鱼吧。如果你想快乐一个月，那就结婚吧。如果你想快乐一年，那就继承一大笔财产吧。如果你想一生幸福——帮助别人。
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
每天早晨，当我睁开眼睛，我对自己说:我，而不是事件，有能力让我今天开心或不开心。我可以选择哪一个。昨天已经死了，明天还没有到来。我只有一天，就在今天，我要快乐地度过这一天。
My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind - intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.
我的整个工作哲学是，人类唯一稳定的幸福是，它应该与女人幸福地生活在一起——男人和他的妻子之间的亲密、肉体和精神上的亲密。我想补充一点，我的幸福状态绝不是完美的。
It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.
工作，使人快乐的工作，才是幸福最可靠的保证。但即使在这里，这也是一项早年必须靠劳动才能获得的工作。一个人年轻时应该努力工作，这样他以后做的每件事相比之下都是容易的。
The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.
大多数人的消费欲望是故意把他们的整个生命种植在别人的手中。我认为这种寻找幸福的方法是不成熟的。性格的发展完全在于走向自给自足。

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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。
The most important thing is to enjoy your life- to be happy - it's all that matters.
最重要的是享受你的生活——快乐——这才是最重要的。
Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
幸福不在于外在的环境，而在于内心的状态。
Doing what you like is freedom; liking what you do is happiness.
做你喜欢做的是自由;喜欢你所做的就是幸福。
