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。
A silent look of affection and regard when all other eyes are turned coldly away--the consciousness that we possess the sympathy and affection of one being when all others have deserted us--is a hold, a stay, a comfort, in the deepest affliction, which no wealth could purchase, or power bestow.
当所有的目光都被冷漠地移开时，一个充满爱意和关怀的沉默的眼神——当所有的人都抛弃了我们时，我们意识到我们拥有一个人的同情和爱——在最痛苦的时候，这是任何财富或权力都无法买到的，是一种支撑、一种支撑、一种安慰。
I'm a very good storyteller; I have a lot of compassion for people. That's very useful for a novelist. A lot of novelists are snots. They're just mean people. I'm not a terribly skilled stylist, nor do I want to be. I want a lot of people to read one of my stories and go, 'That was pretty cool.'
我很会讲故事;我对人很有同情心。这对小说家来说非常有用。许多小说家都是势利小人。他们只是些卑鄙的人。我不是一个非常熟练的造型师，我也不想成为。我想让很多人读我的故事，然后说，‘那太酷了。’
Recognizing the human capacity for evil, or just for plain screwing up; that is why rules are important. ... Having rules that are respected make it harder for people to break them. This is a more subtle, but in the long run a more trustworthy form of compassion that ... softness of heart.
认识到人类作恶的能力，或者仅仅是把事情搞砸的能力;这就是为什么规则很重要。有了被尊重的规则，人们就更难打破这些规则。这是一种更微妙的，但从长远来看更值得信赖的同情方式。柔软的心。
Thanks to our partners, we see the success of our work in the eyes of children who will never go blind and in the faces of parents who now have hope that their lives can improve. The outpouring of support underscores the interest people have in preventing unnecessary suffering for their neighbors.
由于我们的合作伙伴，我们从永远不会失明的儿童的眼睛和现在希望他们的生活能够改善的父母的脸上看到了我们工作的成功。大量的支持凸显了人们对防止邻居遭受不必要痛苦的兴趣。
Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world if one is filled full of great tolerance and the milk of human kindness. The person who achieves must generally be a one-idea individual, concentrated entirely on that one idea, and ruthless in his aspect toward other men and other ideas.
在这个世界上，如果一个人充满了极大的宽容和人性的善良，没有什么比取得成果更困难的了。取得成就的人通常必须是一个只有一个想法的人，完全专注于那个想法，并无情地对待其他人和其他想法。
Working at the Food Bank with my kids is an eye-opener. The face of hunger isn't the bum on the street drinking Sterno; it's the working poor. They don't look any different, they don't behave any differently, they're not really any less educated. They are incredibly less privileged, and that's it.
和孩子们一起在食品银行工作真是大开眼界。饥饿的面容不是街头的流浪汉喝着烈酒;而是那些有工作的穷人。他们看起来没有任何不同，他们的行为没有任何不同，他们的受教育程度并没有降低。他们的特权少得令人难以置信，仅此而已。
These Mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to beg Sustenance for their helpless Infants; who, as they grow up either turn Thieves for want of Work; or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain; or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.
这些母亲不能为自己诚实的生计而工作，却被迫为无助的婴儿乞讨食物;他们长大后，要么因为缺少工作而变成小偷;或者离开他们亲爱的祖国，到西班牙去为觊觎者而战;或者把自己卖给巴巴多斯。
More and more these days what I find myself doing in my stories is making a representation of goodness and a representation of evil and then having those two run at each other full-speed, like a couple of PeeWee football players, to see what happens. Who stays standing? Whose helmet goes flying off?
这些天来，我发现自己越来越多地在我的故事中表现善良和邪恶，然后让这两者全速奔跑，就像两个皮威足球运动员，看看会发生什么。谁呆站?谁的头盔掉下来了?
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.
当你看到心爱的人脸上洋溢着幸福的光芒时，你就会知道，一个人没有别的使命，只能唤醒他周围的那张脸上的幸福之光;你为自己所遭遇的不幸和不幸的夜晚所折磨，为自己生活的事实所折磨。
A real 'karma-yogi', who first acquires knowledge and then works for the welfare of people, quite naturally becomes popular and famous. There is no enemy of such a man but even if there are, he is able to vanquish them. His popularity in the society increases on account of his successes and good deeds.
一个真正的“修行者”，首先获得知识，然后为人民的福利工作，很自然地成为受欢迎和著名。这样的人没有敌人，但即使有，他也能战胜他们。由于他的成功和善行，他在社会上越来越受欢迎。
Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body. Then look at, or think of, the person triggering this emotion: With mindfulness, you can see that she is unhappy, that she is suffering. You can see her wrong perceptions. You can see that she is not beautiful when she says things that are unkind.
深呼吸，让你的思想回到你的身体。然后看看，或者想想，触发这种情绪的人:有了正念，你可以看到她不开心，她在受苦。你可以看出她的误解。当她说一些不友善的话时，你可以看出她并不漂亮。
We assume that we've come so far as compassionate citizens of the world if we do choose to read the news, yet the attitude towards life can be one where we put blinders on and forget that there are civil wars going on. It's easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day.
如果我们真的选择阅读新闻，我们会认为我们已经成为世界上富有同情心的公民，然而我们对生活的态度可能是我们戴上眼罩，忘记正在进行的内战。人们很容易忘记，每天都有那么多人饿死。

Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
没有人在乎你知道多少，直到他们知道你有多在乎。
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
是骄傲把天使变成了魔鬼;谦卑使人成为天使。
We would frequently be ashamed of our good deeds if people saw all of the motives that produced them.
如果人们看到我们做好事的所有动机，我们常常会为自己的善行感到羞愧。
It is much better to promise nothing and try and give everything... Than promise everything and give nothing at all....
什么也不答应，试着付出一切，这样会好得多。总比什么都答应却什么都不给要好。
You know that your happiness and suffering depend on the happiness and suffering of others. That insight helps you not to do wrong things that will bring suffering to yourself and to other people.

Do the best that you can in the place where you are, and be kind.
