How to overcome gossips?

It is therefore important for you to remember that it is our conscience, not our pride, that rises above our Gossips.

When you raise yourself above your pride & egos, will you then truly appreciate, True happiness, & that is when you may live openly before everyone's eyes, & the walls protects you, yet do not hide you.

If your deeds be honourable, & everyone knows, & if your exploits be wicked, & no-one knows, however you know, & that is the main cost of gossips, that your conscience have to pay !

Greatness is not absolute, comparison increases or lessen it.

事物的价值

有些事物是多余的；有些事物是不值得我们为它付出代价，而那些我们认为免费的事物，事实上它的代价是非常昂贵的。

通常，零成本的东西花费我们最多；因此，我希望你思考，不仅当这是一个收益问题，而且是一个损失问题。

困扰我们的不是失去的事物，而是失去的概念。

的确，每个人都忽视了自己，认为没有什么比自己更廉价。

一个拥有自己的人什么都没失去，然而很少有人拥有自我！

你会有更少的钱，是的，更少麻烦，更少影响，更少嫉妒；是的。

The Value of Things

Some objects are superfluous; others are not worth the price we pay for them, & we regard things as free gifts when they really cost us very dear.

Very often the things that cost nothing cost us the most heavily; thus, I would have you reflect, not only when it is a question of gain, but also when it is a question of loss.

It is not the loss of things that troubles us, but a Notion of Loss.

So true it is that, each person regards nothing as cheaper, than themselves.

One that owns themselves has lost nothing, however few people are blessed with ownership of self!

You will have less money, Yes, & less trouble; Less influence, Yes, & less envy.

寻找你神性的所在！

记着，神灵寄居在我们身体里，它与你同在，它在你内心，但我们不知道它是什么神圣？

如果一个人在出生时就实现了大自然为其设计的善行，那么每个人的优良美德就会实现。

世界上最简单的事，就是按照自己的本性生活。

Find where your, divinity is!

Know that, a Divine spirit dwells within us, & that it is with youu, & it is, within youu, yet we know not, what deity it is?

The highest good is attained, if one has fulfilled the good for which nature designed them at birth.

The easiest thing in the world, is to livve in accordance with your own nature.

On the Divine within Us

如何说话? 

你的生活, 应该像你的演讲一样，仔细斟酌， 缓慢谨慎，克制的。 

雄辩应如蜂蜜般轻柔地畅流，从而舒缓我的愤怒，平息我的恐惧，摆脱我的幻想，克制我的放纵，从而谴责我的贪婪。 

调遣安逸自在地表达你的雄辩术，而不匆忙仓促，我劝你放缓你著述的速度。 

论哲学家话语的恰当风格 

How to speak?

Your speech, like your life, should be measured & composed. 

Eloquence flows gently as honey flows, thus soothing my irritations, quieting my terrors, shaking off my illusions, checking my indulgences, thus rebuking my greed. 

Dispatch your eloquence with ease, rather than haste, & I bid you to slow your discourse. 

On the Proper Style for a Philosopher's Discourse 

追求什么？

学习一门学科时，笔记是必要的，无论摘要多有用，它只对了解它的人有用。

拿起哲学，渴望成为一个完整的自己；因为灵魂可以被唤醒完成高尚事物。

正如火焰直冲云霄，无法抑制一样，我们的灵魂越热烈，它的活力就越大。

快乐的人，是把这种冲动给予更好的人！

一个伟大的灵魂品质是蔑视伟大的事物&喜欢平凡事物，而不是过于伟大事物。

What to Aspire to ?

The study notes are necessary when learning a subject, howsoever useful a summary may be, it is only of use to one who knows it.

Pick up philosophy, & desire to be one yourself; as the soul can be roused to honourable things.

Just as the flames springs straight into the air, & cannot be kept down, our soul is more ardent, the greater its motion & activities.

Happy is the person who has given it to this impulse towards better things!

It is the quality of a great soul to scorn great things & to prefer that which is ordinary rather than that which is too great.

On Noble Aspirations

语言的力量。

如果你了解文字的力量，那么就没有必要大声高喊，因为我们不需要太多的词语，而只需要传授有效的言语。

言词应如种子散播，无论它有多小再细小，若寻得有利之地，它就会展现出它的力量并传播开来。

寻求并找一颗有助于有利的心态, 一个会接受并吸收它的人。
