TURE NOBILITY
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.But allsunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.
Take the lot of the happiness----it is a tanged yarn. Bereavements and blessing , one following another,makeus sad and blessed by turns.Even death itself makeslife more loving.
Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life,underthe shadows of sorrow and loss.In the affairs of life or of business,it is not intellect that tells so much as character,notbrains so much as heart,not genius so much as selfcontrol,patience,and discipline,regulated by judement.I have always believed that the man who more simply without.In an age of extravagance and waset,I wish I could show few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating then is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.The true nobility is in being superioe to your previous self.
真正的高贵
海面风平浪静的时候,人人都可以是舵手.然而阳光普照而无阴霾,快乐无限而痛苦,这根本就不是生活.
让我们看看最快乐的人的命运吧----那是一团乱麻.痛失亲人与蒙受恩典的交相感受,让我们体味出人生悲与喜的滋味.甚至死亡本身也能让人生更加可爱.
在哀伤与失落的阴影下,人最为清醒,最能接近真正的自我.在人生于商务的诸多事物中,智能不及品质,头脑不及内心,天才不及明智的自我约束,耐心和纪律.我笃信,内心初步领悟到生活的真谛,方能开始更为平淡的外在生活.在这个奢侈浪费的时代里,但愿我能让世人明白人性真正的需求是何等之少.
对自己的错误后悔到不致再犯时才是真正的后悔.超越别人算不上高贵.真正的高贵在于超越从前的自我.
