Youth by Samuel Ullman
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 child-like 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, cheer, courage and power from man and from the infinite , so long are you 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.
译文：青春
青春不是年华,而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流.
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安.如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见.年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年.
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂.忧虑,惶恐,畏缩（丧失自信）,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰.
无论年逾花甲（年届花甲）,拟或韶华二八（芳龄）,人人心中皆有生命之喜悦（欢乐）,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰.人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存.
一旦天线下降,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻.
When Love Beckons You
When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover
your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
译文：爱的召唤
当爱召唤你时,请追随她,尽管爱的道路艰难险峻.当爱的羽翼拥抱你时,请顺从她,尽管隐藏在其羽翼之下的剑可能会伤到你.当爱向你诉说时,请相信她,尽管她的声音可能打破你的梦想,就如同北风吹落花园里所有的花瓣.
爱会给你戴上桂冠,也会折磨你.爱会助你成长,也会给你修枝.爱会上升到枝头,抚爱你在阳光下颤动力的嫩枝,也会下潜至根部,撼动力你紧抓泥土的根基.
但是,如果你在恐惧之中只想寻求爱的平和与快乐,那你就最好掩盖真实的自我,避开爱的考验,进入不分季节的世界,在那里你将欢笑,但并非开怀大笑,你将哭泣,但并非尽情地哭.爱只将自己付出,也只得到自己.爱一无所有,也不会为谁所有,因为爱本身就已自足.
爱除了实现自我别无他求.但是如果你爱而又不得不有所求,那就请期望：
将自己融化并像奔流的溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己优美的曲调.
明了过多的温柔所带来的苦痛.
被自己对爱的理解所伤害；
并情愿快乐地悲伤.
在黎明带着轻快的心醒来并感谢又一个有家的日子；
在黄昏怀着感恩之心回家；
然后为内心所爱之人祈祷,吟唱赞美之歌,并带着祷告和歌声入眠.

From Shakespeare's King John, 1595:
SALISBURY:
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
莎士比亚在《约翰王》（King John）一剧中，写的一段话:
所以，摆出双倍的排场
装饰一个本来尊号累累的名衔，
纯金之上再镀金，白百合上再敷粉
紫罗兰上再洒香水
磨光冰块
彩虹之上再加一种颜色，
用烛光去加强天上的天上的灿烂的太阳
都是浪费而且是可笑的过分行为。
