A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
善良
Kindness
善意既体现在言语里,也体现在愿意理解与帮助他人的行动中。这些语句围绕体谅、分享和尊重展开。
I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.
我想你永远不会停止付出。我真的不喜欢。我认为这是一个持续的过程。这不仅仅是写支票的问题。它是能够触摸到某人的生活。
Simple people have much to offer. We, too, in return, must give to them to the best of our abilities. We must, with all our heart, try to help them acquire what they truly deserve.
简单的人有很多可以提供。作为回报,我们也必须尽我们最大的能力给予他们。我们必须全心全意帮助他们获得他们真正应得的东西。
No man deserves to be praised for his goodness, who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth, or an impotence of will.
如果一个人没有权力作恶,他的善良就不值得称赞。没有这种力量的善良,通常只不过是懒惰,或者意志的软弱。
Are there not thousands in the world who love their fellows even to the death, who feel the giant agony of the world, and more, like slaves to poor humanity, labor for mortal good?

It's the duty of all novelists, all painters, all musicians, all people who try to make art move: to look for something they feel authentically, without paying attention to styles.

Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.
让恩典和良善成为你情感的主要磁石。因为有目的的爱也会有目的;而建立在真正的美德之上的,将永远持续下去。
It is easier to do one's duty to others than to one's self. If you do your duty to others, you are considered reliable. If you do your duty to yourself, you are considered selfish.
对别人尽到自己的责任比对自己的容易。如果你对别人尽到自己的责任,别人就会认为你是可靠的。如果你对自己尽到责任,就会被认为是自私的。
I'm not against gifts that entertain, but I really believe that some of the most valuable gifts that we can give are the things that help us to develop a skill and be entertaining.
我不反对礼物的娱乐性,但我真的相信,我们能给的最有价值的礼物是那些能帮助我们发展一种技能和娱乐性的东西。
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.

Let there be nothing within thee that is not very beautiful and very gentle, and there will be nothing without thee that is not beautiful and softened by the spell of thy presence.

If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them.
如果一个人对陌生人彬彬有礼,这表明他是世界公民,他的心不是与其他陆地隔绝的岛屿,而是与它们相连的大陆。
Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It's the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else's pain is as meaningful as your own.
同理心其实是精神吝啬的对立面。这是理解每一场战争的输赢的能力。别人的痛苦和你自己的一样有意义。
