Dreams…are sent by Zeus.
夢想,是來自宙斯的禮物。(荷馬)
If you can dream it, you can do it.
有夢者事竟成。(沃特)
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerate of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of this.
你的生活深度取決于你對年幼者的呵護,對年長者的同情,對奮斗者的憐憫體恤,對弱者及強者的包容。因為生命中總有一天你會發(fā)現(xiàn)其中每一個角色你都扮演過。(喬治·華盛頓)
“Two gates there are for dreams," said Penelope to Odysseus after his ten years’ wandering had ended. "One made for horn and one of for ivory. The dreams that pass through the carved ivory delude and bring us tales that turn to naught;those that can come through polished horn accomplish real things whenever seen."
“夢想有兩扇門,”在奧德修斯結(jié)束了十年的漂泊后,潘尼洛對他說,“一扇是號角制成,一扇是象牙制成。通過精雕細縷的象牙門得夢想不過是一場會歸于無的海市蜃樓的童話;而那些通過磨礪的號角門的夢想才會成為真實,為人所見?!?/p>
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. It is not enough that a thing be possible for it to be believed.
當還缺乏產(chǎn)生信仰的足夠理由時,要用信念去包涵。模棱兩可不足以支持一個信仰。(伏爾泰)
Conviction is everything in wishing. If you don’t believe in your own power to make your wish come true, your wish will fly away, never to be seen again. But which leads to the most important point of all. If you’re wishing for something possible, then it may be possible for you to do whatever you need to make it come true. The ultimate magic is not wishing, but doing.
在許愿時,必須要深信不疑。如果你不相信自己有能力讓愿望成真,你的愿望就會飛走,再也看不見。但那正說明了最重要的一點。如果你所希望的是有可能實現(xiàn)得了的,那么你有可能會不惜一切地去實現(xiàn)它。最大的魔力不在于許愿,而在于去做。
As wishes may inspire dreams, so dreams may inspire wishes.
正如心愿能夠激發(fā)夢想,夢想也能夠激發(fā)心愿。
