A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.
除了人民自己，我不知道还有什么能安全地保存社会的最终权力;如果我们认为他们不够开明，不能以健全的谨慎来行使他们的控制，补救办法不是从他们那里拿走，而是告知他们的谨慎。
We as a people, as a state, and as a community, have too much promise, too much potential, and too much at stake to go any other way than forward. We are too strong in our hearts, too innovative in our minds, and too firm in our beliefs to retreat from our goals.
我们作为一个民族，一个国家，一个社区，有太多的希望，太多的潜力，太多的利害攸关，我们只能向前走。我们的内心太强大，我们的思想太创新，我们的信念太坚定，我们无法从目标中退缩。
People are ready to say, 'Yes, we are ready for single-payer health insurance.' We are the only industrialized country in the world that does not have national health insurance. We are the richest in wealth and the poorest in health of all the industrial nations.
人们准备好说，‘是的，我们准备好了单一支付者医疗保险。我们是世界上唯一没有国民健康保险的工业化国家。在所有工业国家中，我们的财富最丰富，健康状况最差。
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.
当你手里拿着一朵花，认真地看着它的时候，那一刻就是你的世界。我想把那个世界给别人。城市里的大多数人都很匆忙，所以他们没有时间看花。不管他们愿不愿意，我都想让他们看看。
There were loads of plays which were very popular before and after the war, where everybody wore a dinner jacket in the third act and it was in a house that you wished you'd owned with people that you wish you knew. It was life seen through a very privileged way.
有很多戏剧在战前和战后都很受欢迎，在第三幕中，每个人都穿着晚礼服，而且是在一所房子里，你希望和你希望认识的人一起住。这是通过一种特权的方式来看待生活。
The photographs were never about me. They were always about the people who were laying their lives on the line for basic civil rights. I look back and I can't believe there was ever a time in this country when ANY citizen could not vote. The times were appalling.
这些照片从来都不是关于我的。他们总是关心那些为争取基本公民权利而甘冒生命危险的人。回首往事，我不敢相信这个国家曾经有过任何一个公民不能投票的时候。当时的时代令人震惊。
I think people who are creative are the luckiest people on earth. I know that there are no shortcuts, but you must keep your faith in something Greater than You, and keep doing what you love. Do what you love, and you will find the way to get it out to the world.
我认为有创造力的人是世界上最幸运的人。我知道没有捷径可走，但你必须对比你更伟大的事情保持信心，继续做你热爱的事情。做你喜欢做的事，你就会找到把它传播出去的方法。
It has worked great good in other communities in the state where it has been honestly and faithfully tried, and I feel confident it will do the same in Pitt, if we faithfully administer the law, and that it will bring gladness and joy into the homes of the people.
我相信，如果我们忠实地执行这项法律，它将给人民的家庭带来欢乐和欢乐。
Sometimes people here can get so focused on, Oh, I've got to get a flight, that it becomes the end all of everything. Then they go off and fly a couple of flights and they think, Okay, is that all there is in life? No, it's not. There's a whole big life out there.
有时候这里的人会很专注，哦，我得赶飞机了，一切都结束了。然后他们飞了几次，他们想，好吧，这就是生活的全部吗?不,它不是。外面的生活很广阔。
It would have been easier to have a male protagonist, but I didn't want people to assume that Nikki Hill was me in her entirety because a lot of people just don't like me and I don't think they would be interested in reading about me, even in the fictional context.
就容易有一个男主角,但是我不想让人认为尼基山是我完整的,因为很多人不喜欢我,我不认为他们会对我感兴趣,即使是在虚构的上下文。
I don't think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose.
我不认为，一般来说，人们成为作家是因为他们是班里非常优秀、非常酷、非常有吸引力的孩子。我会很诚实。这是我们对那些比我们好看得多、受欢迎得多的人的报复。我想我有点像那样。
People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilization. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilization; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.
人们有时告诉我，比起文明，他们更喜欢野蛮。我怀疑他们是否进行了足够长的试验。就像亚历山大的人们一样，他们对文明感到厌倦;但所有的证据都表明，野蛮行为的无聊程度要大得多。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
如果自由意味着什么，那就是告诉人们他们不想听的话的权利。
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
当然，思想开放的问题在于，人们会坚持走过去，并试图把东西放进去。

最成功的政治家是用最响亮的声音说出人们的想法的人。
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
