A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想法
Ideas
All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.
所有的保守主义都是建立在这样一种思想之上的:如果你不去管事情，你就会顺其自然。但你没有。如果你不去管一件事，你就把它留给一股变革的洪流。
I cherish the creation of public space and services, especially health, housing and the comprehensive education system which dared to give so many of us ideas 'above our station.'
我珍视公共空间和公共服务的创造，尤其是健康、住房和全面的教育体系，它们敢于让我们中的许多人有超越自己的想法。
One column of truth cannot hold an institution of ideas from falling into ignorance. It is wiser that a person of prudence and purpose save his strength for battles that can be won.
真理的一栏不能使一个思想体系免于陷入无知。明智的做法是，一个谨慎而有决心的人把自己的力量留给能够获胜的战斗。
Thousands of mercenaries, who have trained in camps on the territory of Chechnya as well as come in from abroad, are actually preparing to impose extremist ideas on the whole world.

Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them, and the cause is half won.

New ideas should confront old ideas. We must refer to the example of Europe. People have fought to make Europe what it is today. Freedom is not something that is served up on a plate.
新观念应该面对旧观念。我们必须以欧洲为例。人们为使欧洲成为今天的样子而奋斗。自由不是装在盘子里的东西。
So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design.
多年来，我一直在关注放松对称的概念，因为我认为对称是一种中性的形状，而不是一种设计形式。
From my own being, and from the dependency I find in myself and my ideas, I do, by an act of reason, necessarily infer the existence of a God, and of all created things in the mind of God.
从我自己的存在，从我自己和我的思想中所找到的依赖，我通过理性的行动，必然推断出上帝的存在，以及上帝头脑中所创造的一切事物的存在。
Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.
大多数批判性的写作都是胡言乱语，而且有一半是不诚实的。无论如何，这是一条通往遗忘的捷径。用思想来思考破坏了用情感和感觉来思考的能力。
I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down.
我的头脑中有些东西是别人教我的不同的——形状和想法离我如此之近——它们对我的存在和思考方式如此自然，以至于我从来没有想过要把它们放下。
I don't have role models or watch much TV. I go to awards ceremonies but often I don't even know who the people are. I think that's good, because then you don't have preconceived ideas about them.
我没有榜样，也不怎么看电视。我去参加颁奖典礼，但通常我甚至不知道那些人是谁。我认为这很好，因为这样你就不会对他们有先入为主的想法。
Having spent so much of my life with Shakespeare's world, passions and ideas in my head and in my mouth, he feels like a friend - someone who just went out of the room to get another bottle of wine.
在我生命的大部分时间里，我的脑海和嘴里都充斥着莎士比亚的世界、激情和思想，他给我的感觉就像一个朋友——一个刚刚走出房间去拿另一瓶酒的人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

一个年轻人刚刚发现了一个古老的想法，并认为这是他自己的想法，没有人能像他那样傲慢得可笑。
[Language is] really a pretty amazing invention if you think about it. Here I have a very complicated, messy, confused idea in my head. I'm sitting here making grunting sounds and hopefully constructing a similar messy, confused idea in your head that bears some analogy to it.

I'm definitely responsible for coming in with some basic chord changes, or ideas. Everybody in the band looks to me to come up with the basic seed, so it's not very productive to come in with nothing.
