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 have somewhere met with the epitaph on a charitable man which has pleased me very much. I cannot recollect the words, but here is the sense of it: "What I spent I lost; what I possessed is left to others; what I gave away remains with me."
我在什么地方见过一位慈善人士的墓志铭,这使我非常高兴。我记不得这句话了,但它的意思是:“我花了我失去了;我所拥有的留给别人;我所送出的东西还留在我身边。”
I want them to come away with discovering the music inside them. And not thinking about themselves as jazz musicians, but thinking about themselves as good human beings, striving to be a great person and maybe they'll become a great musician.
我想让他们带着发现他们内心的音乐离开。不是把自己想象成爵士音乐家,而是把自己想象成好人,努力成为一个伟大的人,也许他们会成为一个伟大的音乐家。
In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly.
天下莫柔弱于水,而攻坚强者莫之能胜,以其无以易之。弱之胜强,柔之胜刚;天下莫不知,莫能行。
If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
如果你成功了,那是因为在某个地方,某个时候,有人给了你一个生命或一个想法,让你朝着正确的方向前进。也要记住,如果你没有像别人帮助你一样帮助那些不幸的人,你是欠生活的。
I am just like my mother. She raised me to love and take care of animals, especially the ones that need it the most and so I started Eddie's Rescue Ranch. We take in animals that need extra care and attention and the animals that get left behind.
我就像我的妈妈。她把我养大,让我去爱和照顾动物,尤其是那些最需要它的动物。我们接纳那些需要额外照顾和照顾的动物,以及那些被遗弃的动物。
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men; and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
如果他们停止互相帮助,人类就会灭亡。没有相互帮助,我们就不能生存。因此,所有需要援助的人都有权向他们的同胞要求援助;有权柄赐给人的,没有一个人能不怀罪恶感地拒绝。
Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.
善良的思想比善良的言语和行为更稀有。它们意味着要为他人着想。这本身是罕见的。但他们也暗示了大量的思考他人的想法,而不是批评。这种情况更加罕见。
I tried to instill a different motivation, to give them the security and the conviction that they were doing something good, something necessary, something useful - if you want to use a grandiose expression, that they were doing something for peace.
我试图灌输一种不同的动机,给他们安全感,让他们相信他们在做一些好事,一些必要的事,一些有用的事——如果你想用一种夸张的说法,那就是他们在为和平做一些事情。
We shall suffer no attachment to literature, no taste for abstract discussion, no love of purely intellectual theories, to seduce us from our devotion to the cause of the oppressed, the down trodden, the insulted and injured masses of our fellow men.
我们不应该迷恋文学,不喜欢抽象的讨论,不喜欢纯粹的知识理论,从而诱使我们献身于我们同胞中被压迫的、受压迫的、受侮辱的和受伤害的人民的事业。
I'm from Naples. I was born in a poor neighborhood and I always, in my heart, felt like it would be amazing to be able to adopt a child from Naples. I could give someone the opportunity I had. I would love to give back in that way and pay it forward.
我来自那不勒斯。我出生在一个贫穷的社区,在我的内心深处,我一直觉得能够从那不勒斯领养一个孩子是一件很了不起的事情。我可以给别人我有的机会。我愿意用这种方式回报,并把它传递出去。
There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character. Some announce goodness and sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten by their spiritual vivac.
微笑有很多种,每一种都有其独特的特点。有的宣扬善良和甜蜜,有的则流露出讽刺、苦涩和骄傲;有些人用憔悴的温柔使面容变得柔和,另一些人则用精神上的活力使其容光焕发。
I say to people who care for people who are dying, if you really love that person and want to help them, be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them - you don't even have to talk. You don't have to do anything but really be there with them.
我对那些关心濒死之人的人说,如果你真的爱那个人,想要帮助他们,在他们生命垂危的时候和他们在一起。和他们坐在一起——你甚至不需要说话。你不需要做任何事情,只要和他们在一起。
KEEP EXPLORING

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.
