原文欣赏

完美的人生

To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals-this alone is worth the struggle.

　　There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosure.

　　Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

　　Patience and diligence, like faith, remove mountains.

　　Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope.

　　Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property. Obedience is the premium which we pay for it.

　　If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not deter or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

　　Death it but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still.

参考翻译


　　坚信过，尝试过，为自己确定的理想努力过——就不枉此番奋斗！

　　没有自由就没有友谊。友谊需要自由，不只是限定在狭小的圈子里。

　　我们要对上帝臣服，更要对独裁者反抗。

　　如同信念一样，忍耐和勤奋同样可以金石为开。

　　好的方法不仅仅能减少麻烦，它能将事情变的容易，它能扫清疑惑，它能节省时间，它能教导那些有想法的人，告诉他们如何去寄予希望，如何去实施。

　　公平是我们财富及生活的保险，忠实及顺从则是我们所付的保险费。

　　如果我有机会表达我的善心，展示我的善举，我会马上实施，不带任何的迟疑，因为我以后可能再也没有这样的机会了。

　　死亡仅仅是世界的穿梭——如同朋友穿越海洋一样——他们在另外的世界里依然永存。
