Marilyn Monroe 瑪麗蓮·夢露
“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
「這一生就是你所做的。不管怎樣,你有時候會搞砸,這是普遍的真理。但好的一面是你可以決定如何搞砸。女孩們會是你的朋友-她們總是這樣做。但要記住,有些人來了,有些人走了。那些始終陪伴你的人-她們是你真正的好朋友。不要放棄她們。還要記住,姐妹們是世界上最好的朋友。至於戀人,嗯,他們也會來來去去。寶貝,我不想這麼說,但其中大多數人-實際上幾乎所有人都會讓你心碎,但你不能放棄,因為如果你放棄了,你就永遠找不到你的靈魂伴侶。你永遠找不到讓你完整的另一半,這適用於一切。僅僅因為你失敗一次,並不意味著你會在所有事情上都失敗。繼續努力,堅持下去,永遠、永遠、永遠相信自己,因為如果你不相信自己,那麼誰會呢,甜心?所以抬起頭,昂起下巴,最重要的是,保持微笑,因為生活是美好的,有很多值得微笑的事情。」

Marianne Williamson 瑪麗安·威廉森
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
「我們最深的恐懼不是我們不足。我們最深的恐懼是我們的力量超乎想像。最讓我們害怕的是我們的光芒,而不是我們的黑暗。我們問自己:『我有什麼資格變得出色、美麗、有才能、絢爛?』事實上,你又有什麼理由不可以是呢?你是上帝的孩子。你的矮化並不造福世界。為了讓他人不感到不安而讓自己變得渺小,這並不是智慧。我們都注定要閃耀,就像孩子們一樣。我們生來就是要展現我們內在的上帝之光。這不僅存在於我們其中的一些人;它存在於每個人。當我們讓自己的光芒閃耀時,我們無意識地給了其他人同樣的許可。當我們從自己的恐懼中解放時,我們的存在自動解放了他人。」

「當你不喜歡一件事時,你應該做的是改變它。如果你不能改變它,就改變你對它的想法。不要抱怨。」
Bob Marley 鮑勃·馬利
“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
「他不完美。你也不是,你們兩個永遠不會完美。但如果他能讓你至少笑一次,讓你思考兩次,如果他承認自己是人並且會犯錯,就抓住他並給他你所能給的最多。他不會引用詩句,他不會每時每刻都在想你,但他會給你他知道你可能會打破的那部分。不要傷害他,不要改變他,也不要期望他給予超過他所能給的。不要分析。當他讓你開心時微笑,當他讓你生氣時大喊,當他不在時想念他。當有愛可付出時就全力以赴。因為完美的人並不存在,但總有一個人是你的完美伴侶。」
Dr. Seuss 德·蘇斯博士
“A person's a person, no matter how small.”
「一個人就是一個人,無論多小。」
Henri J.M. Nouwen 亨利·J.M.·諾溫
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
「當我們誠實地問自己生活中哪個人對我們最重要時,我們常常發現那些不是給我們建議、解決方案或治療,而是選擇與我們分享痛苦,用溫暖和柔和的手觸碰我們的傷口的人。那個能在絕望或困惑的時刻與我們保持沉默,能在悲傷和喪失的時候與我們相伴,能忍受不知道、不治療、不癒合,並與我們面對無力的現實的朋友,那是一個真正關心我們的朋友。」
Nicholas Sparks 尼可拉斯·斯帕克斯

「想像未來是一種懷舊。你一生都困在迷宮中,思考有朝一日如何逃脫,想像未來有多美好,這種想像讓你繼續前行,但你永遠不會真的逃脫。你只是用未來來逃避現在。」

“Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
「承諾自己
要堅強到沒有任何事情可以打擾你的內心平靜。
要對每個你遇到的人談論健康、幸福和繁榮。
讓你所有的朋友感覺到他們身上有些什麼。
看到每件事物的陽光一面,並讓你的樂觀成真。
只思考最好的,只為最好的工作,只期待最好的。
對他人的成功和自己的一樣充滿熱情。
忘記過去的錯誤,努力迎向未來更偉大的成就。
時刻保持愉悅的面容,給每個你遇到的生物一個微笑。
把大量的時間花在提升自己上,以至於沒有時間批評別人。
對於擔憂太大,對於憤怒太高尚,對於恐懼太堅強,對於困擾太快樂。
要對自己有信心,並向世界宣告這一事實,不是用大聲的話語,而是偉大的行為。
生活在信念中,全世界都站在你這一邊,只要你忠於自己最好的部分。」

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life. Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.”
「世界上沒有快樂也沒有痛苦;只有一種狀態與另一種狀態的比較,僅此而已。感受過最深的悲傷的人最能體驗至高的快樂。我們必須感受死亡是什麼,Morrel,才能欣賞生活的樂趣。那麼,活下去吧,成為我心中所愛的孩子,永遠不要忘記,直到上帝屈尊向人類揭示未來的那一天,所有人類的智慧都包含在這兩個字中,「等待和希望」。」

It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
「不要讓你的火焰熄滅,在那些絕望的沼澤中,那些不完全、尚未和根本不存在的地方,一個個無法替代的火花。不要讓你靈魂中的英雄因為你應得的生活的孤獨挫敗而消亡,而你卻從未能夠達到。你渴望的世界可以贏得。它存在...它是真實的...它是可能的...它是你的。」

Theodore Roosevelt 西奧多·羅斯福
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
「重要的不是批評者;不是指出強者如何跌倒,或者行為者如何能做得更好的人。功勞屬於真正在競技場上的人,他的臉被灰塵、汗水和血跡弄髒;他勇敢地奮鬥;他犯錯,一次又一次地短缺,因為沒有努力就沒有錯誤和缺陷;但他確實努力去做;他懂得偉大的熱情,偉大的奉獻;他為了有價值的事業付出自己;他最好知道最終高成就的勝利,如果他失敗,至少是在大膽嘗試的時候失敗,所以他的位置永遠不會是那些既不知道勝利也不知道失敗的冷漠和膽怯的靈魂。」

“Don't Just Don't just learn, experience. Don't just read, absorb. Don't just change, transform. Don't just relate, advocate. Don't just promise, prove. Don't just criticize, encourage. Don't just think, ponder. Don't just take, give. Don't just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don't just hear, listen. Don't just talk, act. Don't just tell, show. Don't just exist, live.”

“Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now. You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being. Adventure.”
「不要讓其他人的期望和意見影響你的決定。這是你的生活,不是他們的。做對你最重要的事情;做讓你感覺充滿活力和快樂的事情。不要讓其他人的期望和想法限制你是誰。如果你讓其他人告訴你你是誰,你就在活他們的現實——而不是你的。生活不只是為了取悅人們。生活不只是遵循別人訂下的道路。生活不只是你現在所經歷的。你需要自己決定你是誰。成為一個完整的人。冒險。」
Roy T. Bennett 羅伊·T·班內特
