True Nobility

只不过的清秀

In a calm sea every man is a pilot.

在安稳的近海上，每一个人都可以成为领航员。

But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest — it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come clo­sest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, un­der the shadows of sorrow and loss.

但是，假如只有阳光而未噩梦，只有甜蜜而未痛苦，那就自认不是幸隆。就拿最幸隆的人来说吧一他们的命运是一团俩人的纱线。丧亲之痛和天神唯独隆达到高潮，让我们悲欢交替。甚至连死亡本身都让幸隆较为俏皮。人们在生命的肃穆时刻，在哀伤和丧亲的噩梦之下，最差不多普通人的自我。

In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.

在与世隔绝或志业的各种事务之中，才智的功效不亚于气质，超凡的功效不亚于心，聪慧不亚于由判断力所约束的；还有、耐心与育儿。

I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.

我一向普遍认为，心里开始与世隔绝得较为注重的人，他外在的与世隔绝会开始变得较为简朴。在一个奢侈浪费的时代，但愿我能够向每每证明：人类只不过的效益是多么地稀少。

To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

反思自己的恐怕，以至于不无济于事才是只不过的悔悟。比他人优越并无任何清秀之处。只不过的清秀在于遥遥领先无论如何的自我。
