A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Acceptance
There is a mortal breed most full of futility. In contempt of what is at hand, they strain into the future, hunting impossibilities on the wings of ineffectual hopes.
有一种凡人的品种是最徒劳无功的。他们藐视眼前的一切，奔向未来，借着无效的希望猎取不可能。
The idea came to me that I was, am, and will be, but perhaps will not become. This did not scare me. There was for me in being an intensity I did not feel in becoming.
我突然想到，我过去是，现在是，将来也会是，但也许不会成为。这并没有吓到我。对我来说，成为一种强度是我在成为时没有感觉到的。
The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.
大脑可以断言任何事情，并假装它已经证明了它。我的信念测试在我的身体上，在我的直觉意识上，当我得到回应时，我接受了。
Contentment, and indeed usefulness, comes as the infallible result of great acceptances, great humilities-of not trying to conform to some dramatized version of ourselves.
满足，实际上是有用的，来自于伟大的接纳，巨大的羞辱——不试着去遵从某些戏剧化的我们自己，这是绝对正确的结果。
People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within.
人就像彩色玻璃窗:当太阳出来的时候，他们闪闪发光，但是当黑暗降临的时候，只有当里面有光的时候，他们真正的美丽才会显露出来。
When I decided to go into politics I weighed the costs. I would get criticism. But I went ahead. So when virulent criticism came I wasn't surprised. I was better able to handle it.
当我决定从政时，我权衡了一下代价。我会受到批评。但我还是去了。因此，当恶毒的批评来袭时，我并不感到意外。我能更好地处理这件事。
The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.
耐心的关键是接受和信念。接受现实，实事求是地看待你周围的世界。相信你自己，相信你选择的方向。
Getting a dog is like getting married. It teaches you to be less self-centered, to accept sudden, surprising outbursts of affection, and not to be upset by a few scratches on your car.
养狗就像结婚一样。它教会你不要那么以自我为中心，要接受突然的、令人惊讶的感情爆发，不要因为汽车上的几处刮痕而心烦意乱。
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
当一个人从容地承受一个又一个重大的不幸时，他的灵魂之美就会闪耀出来，这并不是因为他没有感觉到这些不幸，而是因为他是一个具有高尚和英雄气质的人。
Acceptance says, "True, this is my situation at the moment. I'll look unblinkingly at the reality of it. But I'll also open my hands to accept willingly whatever a loving Father sends me."
接受意味着:“没错，这就是我目前的处境。我将毫不犹豫地正视它的现实。但我也会张开双手欣然接受一位慈爱的父亲送给我的一切。”
Practice easing your way along. Don't get het up or in a dither. Do your best; take it as it comes. You can handle anything if you think you can. Just keep your cool and your sense of humor.
练习慢慢来。不要惊慌失措。做你最好的;既来之则安之。只要你认为你能，你就能处理任何事情。保持你的冷静和幽默感。
The point... is to dwell upon the brightest parts in every prospect, to call off the thoughts when turning upon disagreeable objects, and strive to be pleased with the present circumstances.
点……就是专注于每一个前景中最光明的部分，当你想到不愉快的事情时，就把那些想法抛诸脑后，努力让自己对目前的情况感到满意。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
That is the definition of faith -- acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.
这就是信仰的定义——接受我们认为是真实的东西，接受我们无法证明的东西。
A flower falls even though we love it. A weed grows even though we don't love it.
即使我们爱一朵花，它也会掉下来。即使我们不喜欢杂草，它也会生长。
He who has calmly reconciled his life to fate ... can look fortune in the face.
他平静地使自己的生活适应了命运……能正视命运。
A wise man never refuses anything to necessity.
聪明人从不拒绝任何必要的事情。
One completely overcomes only what one assimilates.
一个人只能完全克服他所吸收的东西。
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
大自然神奇地适合一个人的命运，使他们的果实，他的性格。
