A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
英雄主义
Heroism
The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection; and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.
今天的偶像把昨天的英雄从我们的记忆中推开;反过来，他也将被明天的继任者所取代。
To have no heroes is to have no aspiration, to live on the momentum of the past, to be thrown back upon routine, sensuality, and the narrow self.
没有英雄就是没有抱负，生活在过去的动力，被抛回到常规，感官和狭隘的自我。
There comes Coolidge and does nothing and retires a hero, not only because he hadn't done anything, but because he had done it better than anyone
柯立芝来了，无所事事，退休后成了英雄，不仅因为他什么都没做，还因为他做得比任何人都好
He would still see it as his duty to shut up and get on with it, not cause any trouble. In our own time we've made a hero of the rebel, and it's more heroic to speak up.
他仍然认为他有责任闭嘴，继续干下去，不制造任何麻烦。在我们这个时代，我们把反抗者塑造成英雄，而敢于发声则更有英雄气概。
As a rule, all heroism is due to a lack of reflection, and thus it is necessary to maintain a mass of imbeciles. If they once understand themselves the ruling men will be lost.
一般说来，所有的英雄主义都是由于缺乏反思，因此有必要保持一群低能儿。如果他们一旦了解自己，统治的人就会迷失。
