- 人生虽只有几十春秋，但它绝不是梦一般的幻灭，而是有着无穷可歌可颂的沉长意义的；附和真理，生命便会得到永生。 - 刀鞘保护刀的锋利，它自己则满足于它的迟钝。 - 青春的精神是点铁成金的奇异的宝石。

- 除非我们用爱去对待一个人，否则我们无法了解他。

1. *We never can have a true view of man unless we have a love for him.*

- 在爱人面前，世界将它浩瀚的面具卸下。突然它变得渺小，宛如一首歌，一个永恒的亲吻。

1. *The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.*

- 当你为错过太阳而哭泣的时候，你也将错过群星。

1. *If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.*

- 我今晨坐在窗前，世界如一位路人，停留了一会，向我点点头又离去了。

1. *I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes.*

- 你看不见真正的你，而你所见的，仅是你的影子。

1. *What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.*

- 我的存在是个永远的奇迹，这就是生命。

1. *That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.*

- 你微微笑着，不发一语。我知道，这是我等待许久的一刻。

1. *You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.*

- 神对人说：“我伤害你，故我能医治你；我爱你，故我惩罚你。”

1. *God says to man, “I heal you, therefore I hurt; love you, therefore I punish.”*

- 愿生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。

1. *Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.*

- “可能”问“不可能”道：“你的住所在何处？”它答道：“在无能者的幻梦中。”

1. *Asks the Possible to the Impossible, “Where is your dwelling-place?” “In the dreams of the impotent,” comes the answer.*

- 如果你把所有的失误都关在门外，真理也将被关在门外了。

1. *If you shut your door to all errors, truth will be shut out.*

- 群众是残忍的，但个人是善良的。

1. *Men are cruel, but Man is kind.*

- 生命注满了爱，就如酒杯斟满了酒。

1. *Love is life in its fulness like the cup with the wine.*

- 昨夜的风雨为今日的早晨戴上了金色的和平。

1. *The storm of the last night has crowned this morning with golden peace.*

- 当人微笑时，他被世界所爱；当他大笑时，世界反而惧怕他了。

1. *The world loved man when he smiled. The world became afraid of him when he laughed.*

- “我相信你的爱”让这当作我最后的话。

1. *Let this be my last word, that I trust in thy love.*

- 天空没有翅膀的痕迹，但我已飞过。

1. *I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.*

- 听，是森林的声音，它隐身于花丛间，祈求着自由。

1. *Listen to the prayer of the forest for its freedom in flowers.*
