"Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power."
權(quán)力不會腐蝕?？謶謺g……也許是對失去權(quán)力的恐懼。
"No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself."
"A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us."
旅程本身就是一個人；沒有兩個是相同的。所有的計劃、保障、監(jiān)管和強制都是徒勞的。經(jīng)過多年的奮斗，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)我們沒有去旅行；旅行帶走了我們。
"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."
"I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen."
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world.
The free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world.
I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen.
沒有人真正了解其他人。他所能做的最好的事情就是假設(shè)他們像他自己一樣。
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
找到自己的最好方法就是在為他人服務(wù)中迷失自己。
"And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected."
我相信：個人自由的探索精神是世界上最寶貴的東西。我會為此而戰(zhàn)：思想的自由，可以朝任何它希望的方向發(fā)展，不受指引。
"Man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments."
人，與宇宙中任何其他有機或無機的事物不同，超越了他的工作，走上他概念的階梯，超越了他的成就。
"The free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world."
