别人的容貌、财富、智慧、地位，这些东西跟你一点关系都没有，永远不要拿这几个东西作为你结交朋友的标准。只有一种东西是有意义的，就是他愿意拿多少和你分享。 - 每日文摘

The more we try to control the world, the more it slips through our fingers.

我们越是试图控制世界，它就越从指间溜走。

People are unreasonable，illogical and self-centered；Love them anyway.If you are kind，people may accuse you of selfish，ulterior motives；Be kind anyway.If you are successful，you will win some false friends and some true enemies；Succeed anyway.The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow；Do good anyway.If you are honest and frank，people may cheat you；Be honest and frank anyway.People favor under dogs but follow only topdogs.Fight for a few underdogs anyway.What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight；Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness，they may be jealous；Be happy anyway.People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.Help people anyway.Give the world the best you have，And it may never be enough；Give the world the best you have anyway.You see，in the final analysis，it is between you and God；It is never between you and them anyway.

人们不讲道理、思想谬误、自我中心，不管怎样，还是爱他们；如果你友善，人们会说你自私自利、别有用心，不管怎样，还是要友善；如果你成功以后，身边尽是假的朋友和真的敌人，不管怎样，还是要成功；你所做的善事明天就会被遗忘，不管怎样，还是要做善事；诚实与坦率使你容易受到欺骗和伤害，不管怎样，还是要诚实与坦率；人都会同情弱者，却只追随赢家，不管怎样，还是要为一些弱者奋斗；你耗费数年所建设的可能毁于一旦，不管怎样，还是要建设；如果你找到了平静和幸福，人们可能会嫉妒你，不管怎样，还是要快乐；人们确实需要帮助，然而如果你帮助他们，却可能遭到攻击，不管怎样，还是要帮助；将你所拥有最好的东西献给世界，可能永远都不够，不管怎样，还是要将最好的东西付出！你看，说到底，它是你和上帝之间的事，这决不是你和他人之间的事。
