是的，如果一个人是按自然法则寿终正寝，就生命而言，死者没有什么遗憾，活着的人也不必过分地伤痛。

布施善行的福德，叫做人天福德，是小果报，并不是学佛的大福报。福德跟功德大有差别，金刚经专讲福德，重点在福德，不在功德。什么是人生最大的福德？悟道，成道。智慧是人生最大的福报，所谓智慧的成就，指的并不是普通的知识。

南怀瑾

过去并未死去，它甚至还未过去。

The past is not dead, it is not even past.

J·M·库切

对一个人的终极衡量，不在于他所曾拥有的片刻安逸，而在于他处于挑战与争议的时代。

马丁路德金

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times;it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness;it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity;it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness;it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair;we had everything before us, we had nothing before us;we were all going direct to Heaven,we were all going direct the other way.

这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代；这是信仰的时代，也是怀疑的时代；这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；这是希望的春天，也是绝望的冬天；我们什么都有，也什么都没有；我们正走向天堂之路，也正走向地狱之门。

狄更斯

海洋不仅仅是一种资源，保护它是我们对后代的责任。

The ocean is not just a resource; it's our responsibility to protect it for future generations.

莎拉·约翰逊

人们希望用词语挽留的东西何其多，可它们却都一一失去了！

波伏娃

在适当的年龄读到的故事永远不会真正离开你。你可能会忘记是谁写的或者故事叫什么名字。有时你会忘记具体发生了什么，但如果一个故事触动了你，它就会留在你身边，萦绕在你脑海中那些你很少去的地方。

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
