柏拉图

一、希望

有理想在的地方,地狱就是天堂。有希望在的地方,痛苦也成欢乐。
Where there are ideals, hell is heaven. Where there is hope, pain becomes joy.

美好的生命应该充满期待、惊喜和感激。
A good life should be filled with expectations, surprises and gratitude.

人生最遗憾的,莫过于轻易地放弃了不该放弃的,固执地坚持了不该坚持的。

你的选择是做或不做,但不做就永远不会有机会。
Your choice is to do or not do, but if you don’t do it, you will never have a chance.

乐观者在灾祸中看到机会;悲观者在机会中看到灾祸。
Optimists see opportunities in disasters; pessimists see disasters in opportunities.

抱最大的希望,为最大的努力,做最坏的打算。
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

如果你曾歌颂黎明,那么也请你拥抱黑夜。
If you have eulogized the dawn, then please embrace the night.

明天的希望,让我们忘了今天的痛苦。
Tomorrow’s hope, let us forget today’s pain.

当你能飞的时候就不要放弃飞。

开始是工作的最重要部分。

良好的开端是成功的一半。

一个今天胜过两个明天。

二、生活

每天告诉自己一次,“我真的很不错”。

智者说话,是因为他们有话要说;愚者说话,则是因为他们想说。
Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools speak because they want to say.

得意时应善待他人,因为你失意时会需要他们。
Be kind to others when you are proud, because you need them when you are disappointed.

世上最累人的事,莫过于虚伪的过日子。
The most tiring thing in the world is to live in hypocrisy.

把你的脸迎向阳光,那就不会有阴影。
If you turn your face to the sunshine, there will be no shadow.

生活中若没有朋友,就像生活中没有阳光一样。
Without a friend in life is like living without sunshine.

只要有信心,人永远不会挫败。

耐心是一切聪明才智的基础。

生气是拿别人做错的事来惩罚自己。

少一点预设的期待,那份对人的关怀会更自在。

我们的生活有太多无奈,我们无法改变,也无力去改变,更糟的是,我们失去了改变的想法。

问候不一定要慎重其事,但一定要真诚感人。

不知道自己的无知,乃是双倍的无知。

人若勇敢就是自己最好的朋友。

贪婪是最真实的贫穷,满足是最真实的财富。

拖延时间是压制恼怒的最好方式。

三、社会

如果尖锐的批评完全消失,温和的批评将会变得刺耳。如果温和的批评也不被允许,沉默将被认为居心叵测。如果沉默也不再允许,赞扬不够卖力将是一种罪行。如果只允许一种声音存在,那么,唯一存在的那个声音就是谎言。

你可以用爱得到全世界,你也可以用恨失去全世界。

真理可能在少数人一边。

鲁米

莫拉维·贾拉鲁丁·鲁米
Molang Jalaluddin Rumi

伤口是光进入你内心的地方。
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

你正在寻找的东西也在寻找你。
What you seek is seeking you.

你的任务不是去寻找爱,
而只是寻找并发现你已在内心构筑起来的一切反抗它的障碍。
Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

不要悲伤。
你失去的任何东西都会以另一种形式回来。
Don’t grieve.
Anything you lose comes round in another form.

你生来就有一对翅膀,
为什么更喜欢一边爬行一边生活?
You were born with wings,
why prefer to crawl through life?

情人们并不最终相遇某处。
他们一直在彼此心中。
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along.

宇宙中的一切都在你体内。
全都问你自己。
Everything in the universe is within you.
Ask all from yourself.

忘掉安全感,到你所害怕的地方去生活。
摧毁你的名声,作一个声名狼藉的人。
Forget safety,Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation, Be Notorious .

昨天的我聪明,想去改变这个世界。
今天的我智慧,正在改变我自己。
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing Myself.”

我涅槃,我重生。
I died. I am reborn.

当我失望无比,我感到鼓舞
当我毁灭坍塌,我能够愈合
当我寂静坚定如同大地,我才言语
用如同闪电般的低音诉与每一人
The minute I’m disappointed, I feel encouraged.
When I’m ruined, I’m healed.
When I’m quiet and solid as the ground, then I talk
the low tones of thunder for everyone.

尼采

Friedrich Nietzsche

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeks to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark, the deep – into evil.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous toy.

And lost be the day to us in which a measure hath not been danced. And false be every truth which hath not had laughter along with it .

Faith: not wanting to know what the truth is.

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.

A wise man never loses anything if he has hilf.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man.

Prefer to pursue the emptiness, also cannot have no pursuit.

Growth in wisdom may be exactly measured by decrease in bitterness.

Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
