所谓生活,一半是回忆,一半是继续。
The battle of life is already half won by the young man who is brought personally in contact with high officials; and the great aim of every boy should be to do something beyond the sphere of his duties--something which attracts the attention of those who over him.
“礼治”是荀子的重要思想,荀子认为“礼”之起源,是为了保持物质和人欲的平衡。欲望,是人生来就有的,满足欲望是人的本性。但是人人都依自己的愿望行事的话,可想而知世界就会混乱不堪,而且外物有限,不能想要多少就要多少。所以需要制定“礼”来规范人们的行为,合理引导欲望。荀子认为“礼者,养也”,“礼”并非是刻意压制人的欲望,而是合理满足人的欲望,以及合理分配物质,使社会相对稳定。
