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。
As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.
就服务而言,它可以以上百万种形式出现。要想服务他人,你不必成为一名免费在贫民窟工作的医生,也不必成为一名社会工作者。你在生活中的地位和你做什么并不重要,重要的是你如何做你所做的。
Professional farmworkers who know how to do a number of different jobs, whether it be pruning or picking or crafting, they see themselves as professionals, and they take a lot of pride in that work. They don't see themselves as doing work that is demeaning.
专业的农场工人知道如何做很多不同的工作,不管是修剪、采摘还是手工制作,他们认为自己是专业的,他们对自己的工作感到非常自豪。他们不认为自己所做的工作是有辱人格的。
Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.
送礼物是一种天赋;要知道一个人想要什么,知道何时以及如何得到它,要充满爱心地把它给予他人。除非一个角色拥有这种天赋,否则没有比接受和给予礼物更容易毁灭的时刻了。
People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned, as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can, but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.
那些有着坚定信念和宽广胸怀的人都很担心,就像我担心夏沃女士所处的环境一样。我想让他们知道我将尽我所能,但任何特定的人——无论他们目前拥有什么头衔——所能做的都是有限的。
I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.
我认为当今世界所遭受的最大的疾病是人们感到被爱的疾病。我知道我可以用一分钟,半个小时,一天,一个月的时间去给予爱,但是我可以。我很高兴这么做,我想这么做。
We benefit from doing nothing, from going out to play, from giving from the heart and spending time in nature. Most of all we benefit from having healthy, strong, and loving relationships with other people and from exercising the altruistic parts of ourselves.
我们受益于什么也不做,从外出玩耍,给心脏和花时间在自然界中。最重要的是,我们受益于与他人建立健康、牢固和充满爱的关系,受益于锻炼自己无私的一面。
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
每天至少让一个人快乐。如果你不能做一件好事,说一句好话。如果你不能说一句友善的话,那就想一个友善的想法。如果可以的话,数一数,你将在一周、一年、一生中得到的幸福财富!
I grew up on food stamps. I come from a very humble background. And I've had many friends that have been destitute - you know, running into trouble - and places like The Midnight Mission have given them hope and have fed them and gotten them back on the right path.
我是靠粮票长大的。我出身卑微。我有很多朋友陷入贫困——你知道,陷入困境——像午夜任务这样的地方给了他们希望,给了他们食物,让他们回到正确的道路上。
The Hebrew Bible contains multiple provisions to ensure that no one would go hungry. The corners of the field, forgotten sheaves of grain, gleanings that drop from the hands of the gleaner, and small clusters of grapes left on the vine were to be given to the poor.
希伯来圣经包含了许多条款,以确保没有人会挨饿。田间的四角,和遗落的禾捆,拾取遗落在拾取者手中的遗落物,并落在葡萄树上的小串葡萄,都要分给穷人。
You have to give access to people with disabilities but there is no requirement to hire them. What I mean by affirmative obligation is that producers must take the necessary steps to include opportunities for people with disabilities and a vast majority of them do.
你必须给残疾人提供机会,但没有雇佣他们的要求。我所说的积极义务是,生产者必须采取必要的步骤,为残疾人提供机会,而他们中的绝大多数人都是这样做的。
It is not easy to forbear reflecting with how little reason these men profess themselves the followers of Jesus, who left this great characteristic to his disciples, that they should be known by loving one another, by universal and unbounded charity and benevolence.
这些人自称是耶稣的跟随者,他们把这一伟大的特性留给了他的门徒,他们应该通过彼此相爱,通过普遍的、无限的慈善和仁慈而为人所知。
If they can go out and buy my albums, I can at least make the sacrifice to holler at the few people who call. A lot of times I'm busy so they'll get my voice mail. And if I can speak to them and I have time, I always text back. Because I think that's very important.
如果他们能出去买我的专辑,我至少可以牺牲一下,对着那几个打电话的人大喊大叫。很多时候我很忙,所以他们会收到我的语音信箱。如果我有时间和他们聊天,我总是回短信。因为我认为这很重要。
KEEP EXPLORING

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
人类的仁慈从来没有削弱过一个自由民族的耐力,也从来没有软化过他们的意志。一个国家并不一定要残酷才能强硬。
For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?
对我来说,宽恕和同情总是联系在一起的:我们如何让人们对自己的错误行为负责,同时又与他们的人性保持足够的联系,让他们相信自己有能力被改造?
Compassion brings us to a stop, and for a moment we rise above ourselves.
同情让我们停下来,让我们暂时超越自我。

原谅别人,不是因为他们值得原谅,而是因为你值得和平。
