德蘭修女箴言

人們經常是不講道理的、沒有邏輯的和以自我為中心的
不管怎樣，你要原諒他們
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

 

即使你是友善的，人們可能還是會說你自私和動機不良
不管怎樣，你還是要友善
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

 

當你功成名就，你會有一些虛假的朋友
和一些真實的敵人
不管怎樣，你還是要取得成功
If you are successful, you will win some false friends
And some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

 

即使你是誠實的和率直的，人們可能還是會欺騙你
不管怎樣，你還是要誠實和率直
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

 

你多年來營造的東西
有人在一夜之間把它摧毀
不管怎樣，你還是要去營造
What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

 

如果你找到了平靜和幸福，他們可能會嫉妒你
不管怎樣，你還是要快樂
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

 

你今天做的善事，人們往往明天就會忘記
不管怎樣，你還是要做善事
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Be good anyway.

 

即使把你最好的東西給了這個世界
也許這些東西永遠都不夠
不管怎樣，把你最好的東西給這個世界
Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

 

你看，說到底，它是你和上帝之間的事
而決不是你和他人之間的事
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It is never between you and them anyway.
