A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
现在
Now
Is it so small a thing To have enjoy'd the sun, To have lived light in the spring, To have loved, to have thought, to have done...
这么小的东西吗 享受阳光， 活在春天的阳光里， 曾经爱过，曾经想过，曾经做过……
A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.
一幅画必须具有产生光的真正力量，很长一段时间以来，我一直有意识地通过光，或者说在光中表达自己。
Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead. When Death claims the light of my brow, No flowers of life will cheer me: instead You may give me my roses now!
我死后不要给我玫瑰。 当死亡夺去我额头的光亮， 没有任何生命之花能让我高兴:相反，我可以 你现在可以给我玫瑰了!
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year.
哦，让我们今天在花中得到快乐; 让我们不要想得那么远 如同不确定的收获;让我们在这里 一切都简单地发生在春天。
Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.
爱的时刻。花从黑暗中生长出来。因此，每一刻都是至关重要的。它影响整体。人生就是这样一个接一个的时刻，而活过每一个这样的时刻，就是成功。
I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
我开始相信，我过去所有的失败和挫折实际上都为我现在享受的新生活水平打下了基础。
One of the most powerful, and deeply spiritual, ways to work for social change is for us to take action in the present that embodies -- right now! -- the future vision that we seek
为社会变革而努力的最强大、最深刻的精神力量之一，就是让我们在当下采取行动，具体体现在——现在!——我们追求的未来愿景
History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.
历史或多或少是胡扯。这是传统。我们不想要传统。我们想活在当下，唯一值得修补的历史就是我们今天创造的历史。
Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
生活只能在当下找到。过去的已经过去了，未来还没有到来，如果我们不回到现在的自己，我们就无法接触到生活。
Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world. Stand in your own dooryard and you have eight thousand miles of solid ground beneath you, and all the sidereal splendors overhead.
不可轻看自己的住处和时候。每一个地方都在星空下，每一个地方都是世界的中心。站在自家的院子里，脚下有八千英里的坚实土地，头顶上星光灿烂。
So people think I'm lying about my age all the time? It's the records that are wrong. I've never told anyone how old I am. The minute they ask me, I say 'That's none of your business.' So that means I've never once lied about my age. Now that's true!
所以人们认为我一直在谎报年龄?是记录错了。我从来没有告诉过任何人我有多大。他们一问我，我就说:‘这不关你的事。所以这意味着我从来没有谎报过自己的年龄。现在这是真的!
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
每天早晨，当我睁开眼睛，我对自己说:我，而不是事件，有能力让我今天开心或不开心。我可以选择哪一个。昨天已经死了，明天还没有到来。我只有一天，就在今天，我要快乐地度过这一天。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Life is very short and what we have to do must be done in the now.
生命是短暂的，我们要做的事情必须在现在完成。
Who has not found the heaven below Will fail of it above. God's residence is next to mine, His furniture is love.
谁没有发现下面的天堂 将会在上面失败。 上帝的住所就在我的旁边， 他的家具是爱。
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
愚者在远处寻找幸福，智者将幸福种在他的脚下。
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
我一直想成为大人物，但现在我意识到我应该更具体一些。
The beginning is always today.
总是从今天开始。
Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
永恒不是你死后才开始的。这种情况一直在发生。我们现在就在其中。
