NIGHT | 夜晚 |
My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in
the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can. Cary Grant 我的生活公式很簡單。早上起來、晚上睡覺。在中間盡力而為。 |
We should every night call
ourselves to an account; What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What
temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abort of themselves if they be
brought every day to the shrift. Seneca (3 BC - 65 AD) 我們應該每晚對自己進行反省:今天我克服了哪些弱點?抵抗了哪些情緒?抗拒了哪些誘惑?培養了哪些美德?如果我們每天都進行這樣的懺悔,我們的惡習自然會逐漸消失。 |
Some families can trace their ancestors back three
hundred years, but can't tell you where their children were last night. Jean Kerr 有些家庭可以追溯他們祖宗遠及三百年前,可是卻無法告訴你他們的孩子昨天晚上在哪裡。 |
All men dream: but not
equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to
find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act
their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. T. E. Lawrence 所有人都做夢,但夢的方式並不相同。那些在夜晚於心靈塵封角落中做夢的人,醒來後發現那不過是虛幻;然而,白日的夢想家則是危險的人,因為他們可能會睜著眼睛去實現他們的夢,使之成真。 |
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and
gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do. Bob Dylan 如果一個人早上起來、晚上睡覺,中間作自己想作的事情,這個人就成功了。 |
Fear can keep us up all
night long, but faith makes one fine pillow. Philip Gulley 恐懼會讓我們整夜無法入眠,但信心可以給我們無憂的好枕頭。 |
The dark night was the first book of poetry, and the
constellations were the poems. Chet Raymo 黑夜其實是第一卷詩集,星宿則是其中的詩篇。 |
God made night, but man made
darkness. Spike Milligan 上帝創造黑夜,人製造黑暗。 |
