Neutrality is no favorite with Providence, for we are so formed that it is scarcely possible for us to stand neuter in our hearts, although we may deem it prudent to appear so in our actions.

  • -- Charles Caleb Colton 英国作家科尔顿

中立性不是上帝所喜爱的,因为我们是如此形成的,我们几乎不可能在心中保持中立,尽管我们可能认为在我们的行动中保持中立是明智的。

Spirituality does two things for you. One, you are forced to become more selfless, two, you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements, doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.

灵性为你做了两件事。第一,你被迫变得更加无私;第二,你相信上帝。精神上的人的对立面是唯物主义者。如果我是个唯物主义者,我会通过做代言、做板球评论赚很多钱。我对此不感兴趣。

I am most thankful to Almighty Providence for mercies received, and determined still to press the case into public notice as a token of gratitude.

我非常感谢全能的上帝赐予我的仁慈,并决心继续把这件事公之于众,以表谢意。
