A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
哲学
Philosophy
Life: It is better not to wrap philosophy around such an inconceivable evolving beautiful mystery. If based on perception, alone; whatever the conclusion - it is still guessing.
生活:最好不要把哲学包裹在这样一个不可思议的进化美丽的神秘之中。如果仅仅基于感知,不管结论是什么,它仍在猜测之中。
In wonder all philosophy began, in wonder it ends, and admiration fill up the interspace; but the first wonder is the offspring of ignorance, the last is the parent of adoration
一切哲学都是在惊奇中开始的,在惊奇中结束,赞美充满了空间;但第一个奇迹是无知的产物,最后一个奇迹是崇拜之母
Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.
让孩子们读他们想读的任何东西,然后和他们谈论。如果父母和孩子能在一起交谈,我们就不会有那么多的审查,因为我们不会有那么多的恐惧。
The pretended physical philosophy of modern days strips Man of all his moral attributes, or holds them of no account in the estimate of his origin and place in the created world.
现代的假物理哲学剥夺了人的一切道德属性,或者在估计他的起源和在被创造的世界中的地位时不考虑这些属性。
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion.

To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can still do for those who study it.
教人们如何在没有确定性的情况下生活,同时又不被犹豫所麻痹,这也许是我们这个时代哲学仍然能为那些研究哲学的人所做的主要事情。
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
统治阶级的思想是每一个时代的统治思想,即统治阶级的思想。阶级既是社会的统治物质力量,又是社会的统治精神力量。
If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
如果除一人之外的所有人都持同一种意见,那么人类就没有理由压制那个人,正如他如果有权力,也没有理由压制人类一样。
Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all others are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself.
哲学很大程度上由一位哲学家组成,他认为其他的哲学家都是傻瓜。他经常证明这一点,我应该补充一点,他也经常证明他自己是一个人。
It is possible to be a master in false philosophy, easier, in fact, than to be a master in the truth, because a false philosophy can be made as simple and consistent as one pleases.
在错误的哲学中成为大师是可能的,事实上,比在真理中成为大师更容易,因为一个错误的哲学可以变得简单而始终如一。
The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.
智慧的完善,真正哲学的目的是将我们的欲望与我们的财产,我们的抱负与我们的能力相匹配,我们就会成为一个幸福和善良的民族。
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?
即使只有一种可能的统一理论,它也只是一组规则和方程。是什么让方程式充满激情,并创造出一个宇宙让它们来描述?
