A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
荣誉
Honour
If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor.
如果我们注定要死,我们就足以使我们的国家蒙受损失;活着的人越少,获得的荣誉就越多。
Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honor as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.
现在每个人都很有才华,所以我唯一愿意授予他们真正的荣誉的人是那些默默无闻的人。
And that's my honour, that's what my goal is, to always keep my mum's name ringing, because I know what sacrifices she went through for me.
这就是我的荣誉,这就是我的目标,永远让我妈妈的名字响个不停,因为我知道她为我做出了多大的牺牲。
A Woman is naturally more helpless than the other Sex; and a Man of Honour and Sense should have this in his View in all Manner of Commerce with her.
女人天生比其他性别更无助;一个有身份有见识的人在跟她做生意的时候,在他看来都应该这样。
I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
我越来越尊重事实,越来越不尊重理论。在我看来,事实是一件伟大的事情;一个句子,如果不是上帝印的,那么至少是魔鬼印的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
After honour and state follow envy and hate.
荣誉和地位之后是嫉妒和仇恨。
No revenge is more honorable than one not taken.
没有一种报复比没有被报复更光荣。
If the fountainhead is clear, the stream will be clear.
如果水源清澈,小溪也会清澈。
Honour follows those who flee it.
荣誉跟随逃避荣誉的人。
A clear conscience is the greatest armor.
问心无愧是最好的盔甲。
