A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
圣洁
Holiness
The desert has its holiness of silence, the crowd its holiness of conversation.
沙漠有它的沉默的神圣,人群有它的谈话的神圣。
God, for example, appealed to me as a beardless man wearing a quilted silk cap; holiness was something burning, forbidding, something connected with fire while a day had the form of an oblong box.
例如,上帝就像一个没有胡须,戴着一顶丝棉帽的人向我祈求;神圣是一种燃烧的、令人生畏的东西,一种与火有关的东西,而一天的形状是一个长方形的盒子。
I have followed holiness, I have taught truth, and I have been most in the main things; not that I thought the things concerning our times little, but that I thought none could do anything to purpose in God's great and public matters, till they were right in their conditions.
我以圣洁为本,以真理为教训,在许多事上有忠心。我并不是不重视我们这个时代的事情,而是我认为,在上帝的大事和公共事务上,没有人能做任何事情来达到目的,除非他们的条件合适。
