• 榮譽與美德是靈魂的裝飾品，缺少了它們，即使再漂亮的外表也不算是美麗的。

Honor and virtue are adornments of the soul, without which the body is not truly beautiful, even if it seems to be so. (p99)

                 

• 最重要的是，避免說謊，不管是哪一種形式的謊言，尤其是不對自己說謊。

• 死是一件可以預知的事，然而死亡的境遇卻是不可預知。

• 金色晚年的秘訣在於與孤寂結上光榮的誓盟。

• 人老來敏銳的程度比紙牌算命卜卦還要準確。

                                  

• 人生意義的大小，不在乎外界的變遷，而在乎內心的經驗。一個容易受感動的鄉下人，和一個冥頑不靈的皇帝相比，還是那個鄉下人的生活豐富、偉大而多彩。(240)

The magnitude of lives is not as to their external displacements, but as to their subjective experiences. The impressionable peasant leads a larger, fuller, more dramatic life than the pachydermatous king. (22)

• 許多人都跟落葉一樣，在空中隨風飄蕩，經不住幾下翻轉，就落到了地上。只有少數的人像太空裏的明星一般，循著穩妥的軌道運行，風雨影響不了他們，因為他們的本身之中自有自己的指標和道路。(150, -1)

Most people are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel once defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path. (72, 7)

• 柔能克剛，流水勝於巖石，愛心勝於武力。(165, 10)

Gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force. (119, -2)

• 離人的悲泣聲、智者的歡笑聲、憤怒者的吼叫聲，以及垂死之人的呻吟聲，所有這些悉皆彼此隸屬、難分難解。它們全都互相交織、彼此連鎖，以千種不同的方式糾纏在一起。而這所有的一切聲音、所有一切目標、所有這一切渴望、所有這一切煩惱、所有這一切歡樂，所有這一切的一切，這就是萬法之流，就是生命的樂章。(180, 4)

The lament of those who yearn, the laughter of the wise, the cry of indignation and the groan of the dying. They were all interwoven and interlocked, entwined in a thousand ways. And all the voices, all the goals, all the yearnings, all the sorrows, all the pleasures, all the good and evil, all of them together was the world, All of them together was the stream of events, the music of life. (135, -7)

• 絕沒有一個人是完全的聖人或完全的罪人。(185)

Never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner. (143, 16)

• 一個人可以發現智慧，可以過智慧的生活，可因得到智慧而強化，可以運用智慧行使奇跡，但要說是傳授智慧，那是辦不到的。(185)

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it , be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. (142, -3)

唯一重要的是愛這個世界，而不是輕視這個世界，不是從此憎恨，而是要能以愛心，欽慕，以及尊重來看這個世界和我們人類本身以及所有的一切眾生。(190)

It is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect. (147, -16)

• 事情的本身勝於語言，他的德行和為人重於他的言教，他的手勢重於他的言論，我之所以認為他是一位偉人並非在於他的言詞和思想，而在於他的德行和為人。(190, 12)

With the great teacher, the thing to me is of greater importance than the words; his deeds and life are more important to me than his talk, the gesture of his hand is more important to me than his opinions. Not in speech or thought do I regard him as a great man, but in his deeds and life. (148, 6)
