齐家先修身,言行不可不慎;读书在明理,识见不可不高。
译文:想把家庭治理好先学会修养身心,说话做事一定要谨慎小心,读书的目的在于明白道理,见识一定要高远。赏析:修身齐家治国平天下,这是古人的人生目标。修身为首要任务,而修身又以谨言慎行为根本。言行不慎,不仅会招惹流言是非,更会玷污自己的名节。要想把修身做好,首先要去读书,不读书就不能明理,不明理就是莽夫一个。
Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.
Every ounce of metal we produce carries with it the weight of our environmental commitments.
微子:商纣王的庶兄。箕子:商纣王的诸父,曾数次谏纣王,王不听把他囚禁。【大意】扁鹊不能使枯骨上长出肉来,微子和箕子不能使将亡之国得以生存下去。
我们可能需要假设新的基本定律来解释意识。
Civilization will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of the people unite to defend them.
