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。
There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels for someone, for someone, pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echos.
没有什么比同情更重要的了。甚至一个人自己的痛苦也没有他对别人的痛苦那么沉重,对别人来说,想象使痛苦加剧,一百种回音使痛苦延长。
These people are good and simple. You can stamp on them any design that you wish to give them. And Our Lord gave them good bodies and good faces, and I think that it was his plan that we arrive here.
这些人善良而单纯。你可以在上面印上你想给他们的任何图案。我们的主赐给他们好的身体和好的面孔,我想我们来到这里是他的计划。
Well, I think when we can turn to the person sitting next to us and really see them with kindness and see ourselves reflected back - when there's some dignity and compassion traveling back and forth.
嗯,我认为当我们可以转向坐在我们旁边的人,看到他们的善良,看到我们自己的反应,当我们有一些尊严和同情来回旅行。
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.
当别人让你受苦时,那是因为他内心深处在受苦,他的痛苦正在蔓延。他不需要惩罚;他需要帮助。这就是他要传达的信息。
To believe practically that the poor and luckless are here only as a nusiance to be abraded and abated, and in some permissable manner made away with, and swept out of sight, is not an amiable faith.
实际上,认为穷人和不幸的人在这里只是作为一种需要磨蚀和减轻的妄想,并以某种不容容忍的方式加以抛弃和扫除,这并不是一种和蔼可亲的信仰。
Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.
女人一直都是世界上最坚强的女人。男人总是向女人要一个小枕头,让她们把头放在上面。他们总是想念把他们当婴儿抱着的母亲。
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it.
自由、道德和个人的人格尊严正是由这些组成;他行善,不是因为他被迫这样做,而是因为他自由地构思、想要和爱它。
An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.
一个无限的神可以把他自己给他的每一个孩子。他没有把自己分配给每一个人,让他们都有自己的一部分,而是把自己的全部奉献给每一个人,就像没有其他人一样。
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow-creature, let me do it now...for I shall not pass this way again.

The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much. In public affairs, in the rebuilding of civilization, something less dramatic and emotional is needed, namely tolerance.

Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.
总是高度重视自发的善意。如果一个人的倾向促使他自愿地和你建立友谊,那么他爱你的程度就会超过你苦心追求的那个人。
Three conditions are necessary for Penance: contrition, which is sorrow for sin, together with a purpose of amendment; confession of sins without any omission; and satisfaction by means of good works.
忏悔有三个必要的条件:悔悟,即对罪恶的悲伤,以及修正的目的;无遗漏的认罪;并藉着善行得满足。
