在这个世界上，为什么只有聋人才珍惜失而复得的听觉？只有盲人才珍惜重见天日的幸福？让我们珍惜生命中的每一天，去充实生命、去享受生活。

我很喜欢圣奥古斯丁在“上帝之城”里的一句话，他说“以社会地位评价人是一种罪”。用现在的口吻说，看一个人的名片来决定你是否要和他交谈是罪。对圣奥古斯丁来说，人的价值不在他的社会地位，只有神可以决定一个人的价值，他将在天使围绕、小号奏鸣，天空破开的世界末日给于最后审判，如果你是像我一样的世俗论者，这想法太疯狂了，但这想法有它的价值。

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.

成人无法直接帮助儿童形成自己，因为那是自然而成的工作；但是成人必须懂得细心地尊重这个目标的实现，也就是提供儿童形成自己所必要的而他自己却无法取得的材料。
