愛是永不止息
每件事都是個奇跡，甚至黑暗和寂靜。無論我身處何境，我都從中受益，從中得到滿足。Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn whatever state I am in, therein to be content
當一扇幸福之門關閉時，另一扇就打開了。但我們的眼光經常總是停在那扇已經關閉的門，卻沒有看到這扇打開的。When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
如果世上隻有歡樂，我們就永遠都學不會勇敢和忍耐。We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
世界有無數的苦難，但世界也有無數對苦難的征服。Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
自憐是最可怕的敵人。如果屈服於它，就做不成任何對世界有益的事。Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.
安全感多半是個假象。它在現實生活中不存在。生命要不就是個大膽的冒險，要不就沒有生命。Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
很多人對幸福的認識是錯誤的。取得幸福不是通過不停地滿足自己的需要，而是通過對自己所負使命的忠誠。Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
從來沒有一個悲觀者發現過宇宙的奧秘，航行至未知的土地，或為人類的心靈開辟過一片新的視野。No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
