A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

善良

Kindness

I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn't completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart - when life gets tough, you should go out and help someone else.

我用我的下午绘画和工作,我的开放的心珠宝行凯珠宝商。我设计了一幅心脏没有完全闭合的图像。我妈妈总是告诉我要心胸开阔地生活——当生活变得艰难时,你应该出去帮助别人。

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it.

I don't ever remember them telling us or teaching us that the only way we could be more successful is if other people were less successful. They never inculcated the belief that somehow, in order for us to climb the ladder, other people have to come down from the ladder.

Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished.

The universal human laws - need, love for the beloved, fear, hunger, periodic exaltation, the kindness that rises up naturally in the absence of hunger/fear/pain - are constant, predictable, reliable, universal, and are merely ornamented with the details of local culture.

当我们和家人打交道的时候——不管他们有多讨厌或粗俗,不管他们的痛苦看起来有多自我折磨,不管他们因无知、偏见或鼻毛而多么痛苦——我们都发自内心地付出。

Be unselfish. That is the first and final commandment for those who would be useful and happy in their usefulness. If you think of yourself only, you cannot develop because you are choking the source of development, which is spiritual expansion through thought for others.

是无私的。这是第一诫,也是最后的诫命,给那些有用的人,让他们在有用中快乐。如果你只想到你自己,你就不能发展,因为你正在扼杀发展的源泉,那就是通过为他人思考而进行的精神扩张。
