A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诚信/个性
Integrity/Individuality
The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.
人类历史的整个进程可能取决于一个孤独的、甚至是卑微的人改变心意- -因为正是在这个孤独的人的思想和灵魂中进行了正义与邪恶的斗争，并最终取得了胜利或失败。
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.
要使世界秩序井然，我们首先必须使国家秩序井然;要治理好国家，首先要治理好家庭;为了使家庭井然有序，我们必须首先培养我们的个人生活;我们必须先把心摆正。
And now the end is near And so I face the final curtain, My friends, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full, I've travelled each and evr'y highway And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
现在，一切都快结束了 所以我面对着最后的帷幕， 朋友们，我要说清楚， 我将陈述我确信的情况。 我的生活是充实的，我走过每一条高速公路 不仅如此，我还用自己的方式做到了。
Most people hew the battlements of life from compromise, erecting their impregnable keeps from judicious submissions, fabricating their philosophical drawbridges from emotional retractions and scalding marauders in the boiling oil of sour grapes.
大多数人从妥协中砍下生命的城垛，从明智的意见中筑起坚不可摧的屏障，从情感的退缩中筑起哲学的吊桥，从酸葡萄油中滚烫的掠夺者那里滚烫的掠夺者。
A thoroughly good relationship with ourselves results in being still, which doesn't mean we don't run and jump and dance about. It means there's no compulsiveness. We don't overwork, overeat, oversmoke, overseduce. In short, we begin to stop causing harm.
与自己保持良好的关系会让我们保持静止，但这并不意味着我们不会到处跑、跳、跳。这意味着没有强迫性。我们不会过度工作，过度饮食，过度吸烟，过度诱惑。简而言之，我们开始停止制造伤害。
It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.
令人惊讶的是，很多人在一生中都没有意识到他们对别人的感觉很大程度上是由他们对自己的感觉决定的。
Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.
沟通是一种持续的平衡行为，在亲密和独立的需求之间平衡。为了在这个世界上生存，我们必须与他人合作，但是为了作为我们自己而生存，而不仅仅是作为一个齿轮上的齿轮，我们必须独自行动。
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
没有所谓的“白手起家”的人。我们是由成千上万的人组成的。每一个曾经为我们做过一件好事，或对我们说过一句鼓励的话的人，都已经成为我们性格、思想以及成功的组成部分。
Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic self-hood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be. As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks -- we will also find our path of authentic service in the world.
我们内心深处的呼唤是成长为真正的自我，不管它是否符合我们应该成为的某种形象。当我们这样做的时候，我们不仅会找到每个人都在寻找的快乐，我们还会找到我们在世界上真正服务的道路。
Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.
个性是政治自由的目标。通过给予公民与秩序和他人权利相适应的行动自由和生存自由，这些制度使他成为真正的自由人。他可以用自己的方式追求自己的幸福。
This is a very important practice. Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.
这是一个非常重要的实践。以一种永不迷失自我的方式过好你的日常生活。当你被忧虑、恐惧、渴望、愤怒和欲望冲昏头脑时，你就会逃离自己，失去自我。修行总是要回到自己身上。
If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning.
如果我们重视独立，如果我们被我们现有体系所诱导的知识、价值观和态度的日益一致所干扰，那么我们可能希望建立学习的条件，从而形成独特性、自我指导和自主学习。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
历史上最惨痛的教训之一是:如果我们被愚弄的时间足够长，我们往往会拒绝任何有关这种欺骗的证据。竹竿把我们捉住了。一旦你让一个骗子控制了你，你几乎永远不会再得到它。
Never, "for the sake of peace and quiet," deny your own experience or convictions.
永远不要“为了和平与安宁”否认你自己的经历或信念。
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
雪崩时没有一片雪花会感到有责任。
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
如果一个人跟不上他的同伴，也许是因为他听到了不同的鼓声。让他随着他所听到的音乐迈步前进，不管他是多么的有分寸，多么的遥远。
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
最后，除了你自己心灵的完整，没有什么是神圣的。
I think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don't know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do.
我想我们内心都有一个小小的声音在指引着我们。可能是上帝，我不知道。但我认为，如果我们把生活中所有的噪音和杂物都关在门外，倾听那个声音，它会告诉我们该做什么。
