Companionship of Books
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.

Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

Three passions
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy –ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what- at last- I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flu. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
三種激情 -----羅素
三種激情雖然簡單,卻異常強烈,它們統治著我的生命,那便是:對愛的渴望,對知識的追求,以及對人類苦難的難以承受的同情。這三種激情像變化莫測的狂風任意地把我刮來刮去,把我刮入痛苦的深海,到了絕望的邊緣。
我曾經尋找愛,首先是因為它能使我欣喜若狂——這種喜悅之情如此強烈,使我常常寧愿為這幾個小時的愉悅而犧牲生命中的其他一切。我尋求愛,其次是因為愛能解除孤獨——在這種可怕的孤獨中,一顆顫抖的良心在世界的邊緣,注視著下面冰涼、毫無生氣、望不見底的深淵。我尋求愛還因為在愛的融合中,我能以某種神秘的圖像看到曾被圣人和詩人想象過的天堂里未來的景象。這就是我所追求的東西,雖然這似乎對于人類的生命來說過于完美,但這確實是我最終發現的東西。 我懷著同樣的激情去尋找知識,我曾渴望著理解人心,我曾渴望知道為何星星會閃爍,我還企圖弄懂畢達哥拉斯所謂的用數字控制變化的力量,但在這方面,我只知道一點點。
愛的力量和知識的力量引我接近天堂,但同情之心往往又把我拉回大地。痛苦的哭泣回響、震蕩在我的心中。饑餓的兒童,被壓迫、受折磨的人們,成為兒孫們討厭的包袱的、無助的老人們,充斥著整個世界的孤獨的氣氛,貧窮和苦難,所有這一切都是對人類生活原本該具有的樣子所作的諷刺。我渴望消除一切邪惡,但我辦不到,因為我自己也處于苦難之中。 這就是我的生活,我認為值得一過。而且,如果有第二次機會,我將樂意地再過一次。

The star 星星
Twinkle , twinkle, little star! 閃耀閃耀,小星星
How I wonder what you are , 我想知道你身形
Up above the world so high , 高高掛在天空上
Like a diamond in the shy . 就象天上的鉆石
When the blazing sun is gone , 燦爛太陽已西沉
When he nothing shines upon , 它已不再照萬物
Then you show your little light , 你就顯露些微光
Twinkle , twinkle all the night . 整個晚上眨眼睛
The dark blue shy you keep, 留戀漆黑的天空
And often through my curtains peep,穿過窗簾向我望
For you never shut your eye,永不閉上眼睛
Till the sun is in the shy,直到太陽又現形
It is your bright and tiny spark,你這微亮的火星
Lights the traveler in the dark,黑夜照耀著游人
Though I know not what you are,雖我不知你身形
Twinkle twinkle , little star。閃耀,閃耀,小星星!
