How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity and restrictions,rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength.
有時我們真像這風箏啊！上天賦予我們困境和約束，賦予我們成長和增強實力所要遵從的規則。
Restraint is a necessarycounterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us tug at the rules so hard that wenever soar to reach the heights we might have obtained.
為了應對風的反對，克制是一種必要的配對物。我們中的一些人如此艱難的強行拉扯規則，以至我們從來無法飛到本來能夠達到的高度。
We keep part of thecommandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
我們遵守部分戒律，因此永遠不會飛得足夠高，使尾巴遠離地面。

It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday andthe fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
真正令人發瘋的不是今日的負擔，而是對昨日的悔恨及對明日的恐懼！悔恨與恐懼是一對孿生竊賊，將今天從你我身邊偷走！

There is not much to choose between men. They are all a hotchpotch of greatness andlittleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness.
人和人之間沒什麼大的差別。他們皆是偉大與渺小，善良與邪惡，高尚與低俗的混合體。
Some have more strength ofcharacter, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instinctsfreer play, but potentially they are the same.
有的人性格比較堅毅，機會也比較多，因而在這個或那個方面，能夠更自由地發揮自己的稟賦，但是人類的潛能卻都是相同的。
For my part, I do not think I am any betteror any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life andevery thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster ofdepravity.
至於我自己，我認為自己並不比大多數人更好或者更差，但是我知道，假如我記下我生命中每一次舉動和每一個掠過我腦海的想法的話，世界就會將我視為一個邪惡的怪物。
The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire onewith tolerance to oneself as well as to others. It is well also if they enable us to lookupon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they leadus to take ourselves not too seriously.
每個人都會有這樣的怪念頭，這樣的認識應當能夠啟發我們寬容自己，也寬容他人。同時，假如因此我們得以用幽默的態度看待他人，即使是天下最優秀最令人尊敬的人，而且假如我們也因此不把自己看得過於重要，那是很有裨益的。

7
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
要理解生活，需要往後看；要過好生活，必須往前看。
8
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
愛不在於彼此凝視，而在於注視著同一個方向。
9
There is never heaven, living is heaven.
世上沒有真正的天堂，生活就是天堂。

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor playerThat struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more: it is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.
人生不過是一個行走的影子，一個在舞臺上指手劃腳的拙劣的可憐的人，登場片刻，就在無聲無息中悄然退下；它是一個愚人所講的故事，充滿著喧譁和騷動，卻找不到一點意義。
