宁可做一个不满足的人,也不愿做一个满足的猪;宁可做苏格拉底不满足,也不愿做一个愚蠢的满足者。
It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.
爱是一种冒险,但值得一试。
The heart that loves, lives.
【译文】 孔子说:“花言巧语、满脸堆笑的人,很少有仁爱之心。”
I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.
