Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days ensherned in mem－ory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remem－bered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.
　　 真正珍惜过去的人，不会悲叹旧日美好时光的逝去。因为藏于记忆中的时光永不流失。死亡本身无法止住一个记忆中的声音，或擦除一个记忆中的微笑。对现已长大成人的那个男孩来说，那儿将有一个池塘不会因时间和潮汐而改变，可以让他继续在阳光下享受安静时光。

　　 Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you.Unhappy,with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall.Happy, the wall crumbles.
　　 快乐的视野并不受你周围事物的局限。只不过你不快乐的时候，思想便转向你感情上的苦恼，眼界也就被心灵之墙隔断了。而当你快乐的时候，这道墙便崩塌了。

　　 不管你的生活有多卑微，面对它吧，把生活进行下去；不可逃脱，也不能抱以恶言。生活还不及你坏哩。你最富的时候，它反而最贫瘠。人若爱找茬儿，天堂也能被他挑出毛病。哪怕贫穷，你也要热爱生活。快活、激动和光荣的时光甚至在济贫院里也享受得到。反射在那里窗上的落日光芒，和照在有钱人家窗上的阳光是一样的亮堂，门前的积雪也同样都是在早春溶化。
