CHANCE

運氣
If life is an accident, it cannot conceivably have any purpose, for accident and purpose are mutually exclusive.

C. S. Lewis

如果生命只是一場偶然，那它就絕不可能有任何目的；因為『偶然』與『目的』是相互排斥的。
The doctrine of chances is the bible of the fools.

John Keats

凡事碰運氣是愚人的聖經。
There is no such thing as chance or accident; the words merely signify our ignorance of some real and immediate cause.

Adam Clarke

世上根本沒有所謂的機緣或巧合；這些詞彙僅僅代表了我們對某些真實且直接的原因一無所知。
I cannot believe that God plays dice with the World.

Albert Einstein

我不相信上帝在跟這世界玩擲骰子的遊戲。
Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.

H. Jackson Brown, JR.

機會只與在舞池的人跳舞。
If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

Tom Peters

機會之窗一現，切莫拉下窗簾。
Take a chance!  All life is a chance.  The man who goes furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

Dale Carnegie

冒冒風險吧！整個人生原是一場冒險。最有成就的通常是願意去幹而且勇於冒險的人。
In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.

Louis Pasteur

在觀察的領域中，機會只眷顧那些有所準備的心靈。
Things do not happen by chance of themselves in this world, nor do they look dark by kind Providence alone, but there is a way of preparing a soul for its destiny.

George Eliot

這世界上的事情並非偶然發生，命運也非刻意顯得黯淡，一切都是在為靈魂走向其命定而做準備。
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

Francis Bacon

智者創造的機會，遠比他發現的還要多。
Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.

Anatole France

『偶然』或許是上帝不想署名時，所使用的筆名。
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than of death.

James F. Byrnes

太多人只想要尋求安全感，而不是尋求機會。他們看起來害怕生活，更甚於害怕死亡。
