We don't inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.
我们不是从祖先那里继承了土地;我们是从子孙那里借来的。
The best art changes the way we see the world, not just the way we see art.
【译文】 颜渊问仁。孔子说:“用坚强的意志、顽强的拼搏精神,主持正义、捍卫道德、维护和平,这就是仁。一旦做到了这一点,普天下的人都会崇敬你、追随你、向你学习。为崇高理想而奋斗要靠的是自己,难道还能靠别人吗?”颜渊说:“请问其详?”孔子说:“违反礼法的事不要看、不要听、不要说、不要做。”颜渊说:“我虽不才,愿照此办理。”
The natural effort of every individual to better his own condition, when suffered to exert itself with freedom and security, is so powerful a principle that it is alone, and without any assistance, not only capable of carrying on the society to wealth and prosperity but of surmounting a hundred impertinent obstructions with which the folly of human laws too often encumbers its operations.
Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.
