A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Mankind
Man at his birth is content with a little milk and a piece of flannel: so we begin, that presently find kingdoms not enough for us.
人刚出生时，只要一点牛奶和一块法兰绒就心满意足了。所以，我们开始吧，不久就会发现王国对我们是不够的。
Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.
人类不可能拯救文明，除非他能进化出一个与天堂和地狱无关的善恶体系。
I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things.
我认为人类的大部分痛苦都是由于他们对事物的价值作了错误的估计而带来的。
There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.
一个人如果没有舒适的神话的帮助，就不能面对生活的危险，这人有一点软弱和可鄙。
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
任何人的死亡都使我渺小，因为我与人类息息相关;因此，永远不要派人去打听丧钟为谁而鸣;它为你收费。
Mankind are apt to be strongly prejudiced in favor of whatever is countenanced by antiquity, enforced by authority, and recommended by custom.
无论什么东西，只要是古代所支持的、权威所强制的、风俗所推荐的，人类就容易产生强烈的偏见。
Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.
每个人都受到生活的考验;他只有对自己的生命负责，才能对生命负责;对生活，他只能以负责任的态度来回应。
Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
只要罪恶还能忍受，人类宁可忍受，也不愿为了正义而废除他们所习惯的形式。
Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.
心胸狭窄、缺乏想象力的小个子男人过着循规蹈矩的生活，沾沾自喜地抵制一切可能会扰乱他们的小天地的变化。
Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature.

The dog has got more fun out of Man than Man has got out of the dog, for the clearly demonstrable reason that Man is the more laughable of the two animals.
狗从人身上得到的乐趣比人从狗身上得到的乐趣还要多，原因很明显，在这两种动物中，人更可笑。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The right of conscience and private judgment is unalienable, and it is truly the interest of all mankind to unite themselves into one body for the liberty, free exercise, and unmolested enjoyment of this right.
良知和个人判断的权利是不可剥夺的，为了自由、自由行使和不受干扰地享有这一权利而把自己团结成一个整体，确实符合全人类的利益。
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box.

In the mass of mankind, I fear, there is too great a majority of fools and knaves; who, singly from their number, must to a certain degree be respected, though they are by no means respectable.

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

The good opinion of mankind, like the lever of Archimedes, with the given fulcrum, moves the world.
人们的赞许就像阿基米德的杠杆，有了合适的支点，就能推动世界。
