A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
谦卑
Humility
In such a state, humility is the virtue of men, and their only defense; to walk humbly with God, never doubting, whatever befall, that His will is good, and that His law is right.
在这种状态下，谦逊是人的美德，也是他们唯一的防御;要存谦卑的心，与神同行，无论遇着什么事，总不疑惑他的旨意是好的，他的律法是公义的。
We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori.
我们必须谦虚地承认，虽然数字纯粹是我们思想的产物，但空间在我们的思想之外有一个实在，因此我们不能完全预先规定它的性质。
True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.
真正的谦逊是明智的自尊，它使我们不把自己想得过高或过低。它提醒我们离我们所能达到的还有多远，从而使我们变得谦虚。
The word majesty was now dropped; but, with the deepest respect and humility, I was addressed as the count. What could I do? I accepted the title, and from that moment I was known as Count Peter.
“威严”这个词现在已经没有了;但是，带着最深切的敬意和谦卑，我被称为伯爵。我能做什么?我接受了这个头衔，从那一刻起，我被称为彼得伯爵。
Humility is a virtue all preach, none practice, and yet everybody is contented to hear. The master thinks it good doctrine for his servant, the laity for the clergy, and the clergy for the laity.
谦卑是一种美德，人人都讲，但没有人去实践。主人认为这是对他的仆人，俗人对神职人员，神职人员对俗人的好教义。
I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life. I practice a humility that presupposes there's a power greater than myself. And I always believe, don't inflict harm where it's not necessary.

When someone saves your life and gives you life, there's gratitude, humility; there's a time you've been so blessed you realize you've been given another chance at life that maybe you did or didn't deserve.

Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp goad.
要谦卑，如同践踏在脚下的青草。小蚂蚁高兴地品尝着蜂蜜和糖的甜味。巨大的象被锋利的刺痛得发抖。
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
你想变得伟大吗?然后从存在开始。你想要建造一个巨大而崇高的结构吗?首先想想谦逊的基础。你的结构越高，它的基础就必须越深。
There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.

There will be, I think, an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods, together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions.

我渴望完成伟大而崇高的任务，但我的主要职责是完成卑微的任务，就像它们是伟大而崇高的一样。世界的前进，不仅是由英雄们的强大推动，而且是由每一个诚实工人的微小推动的总和。
