  我们在思想上每迈出新的一步,就可以调节许多看起来矛盾的事实,把它们作为同一个规律的不同表达方式来对待。亚里士多德和柏拉图被认为分别代表了两种不同的学派。可是聪明的人会发现,柏拉图的思想其实影响了亚里士多德。思想上再后退一步,不统一的观点就可以认为是同一个原则的两个极端。但不管退到什么地步都不可以否定:总有一个眼界会相对高一些。
  ……
  勇气在于有很强的自我重塑能力,只有这样,一个人才能永远立于不败之地,才能不受人摆布;不管你把他放在什么场合,他都有立足之地。要想做到这一点,他就必须选择真理,摈弃他对真理原有的理解,随时能够从不同的角度认识接受真理,而且要相信他的法律条文、他与社会之间的联系、他的宗教、他的世界随时都有可能被取代而消逝。
  ……
  交谈是一种圆的游戏。谈话时,我们拆除了阻止双方畅所欲言的“限定”。谈话者不会因为神情和态度受到责难,他们甚至可以在圣人的降临日大胆地表露自己心中真实的想法。翌日,很可能他们会从这高水位线上隐退,你会发现他们仍然苟且行驶在旧的驮鞍之下。当火舌触伸到我们的墙上时,我们还是享受这热度吧。当一个新的演说者燃起新的光芒,解救我们于上一个谈话人沉重、专横的思想压迫中,把我们交付给另外一个拯救者,我们似乎才又重新获得了自身的权利,变回了真正意义上的人。每条被昭示天下的深刻的真理,只有在一定的时间、一定的轨道上才能运行。在平凡的日子里,社会端坐在那里像雕木一样,而我们也是个个心气平和地奉候,心中感到十分空虚,——或许也明白,一旦伟大的象征把我们包围起来,我们就会变得充实。只可惜对于我们来说,它们并没有什么象征的寓意,而是乏味、无关紧要的玩具罢了。接着,圣人降临了,他把木偶似的人们点化得大彻大悟,囊括万物的面纱在他闪电般的眼神中烧毁了。于是,家具、杯子和碟子、椅子、闹钟和华盖,所有这些事物的意义拭目以待。昨天在暮霭笼罩下巨大的事实——财产、气候、繁殖、美貌等,其比例都奇妙地发生了变化。我们眼中稳固的东西在动摇。文学、城市、气候都从它们的根基处游离出来,在我们面前翩翩起舞。然而,我们又从这些现象中看到了局限。语言的表达是好的,但“沉默是金”。沉默会让言语感到惭愧。交谈时间的长短表明了倾听者和诉说者之间的思想距离。如果在任何时候双方都很默契,那么言语就根本是多余的。

……
  天才与杰出人物的区别在于,杰出人物灵活地保存了旧有的、被人菲薄了的事物,同时又有能力开辟新的道路,朝新的、更远大的目标前进。杰出人物创造压倒一切的现时,一种愉快而坚定的时刻,他树立起坚定的信念展现给世人,他让他们看到,他们没有想过的很多很多事情其实都可以实现,而且可以做得很优秀。杰出人物让事件本身在人们的印象中淡化。当我们见到征服者时,他们创造的某次战役或胜利倒不会过多地在我们的头脑中想象。我们只知道,原来我们把困难夸大了。我们的困难对于伟人而言其实很容易。伟人是坚定不可动摇的。在他眼中,任何事情都是过眼烟云,不会留下什么不可磨灭的印象。有时候人们会说:“看,我已经克服了困难,瞧我多开心呀!我已经彻底战胜这些磨难了。”可是如果他们反复地对我说起那厄运,就说明他们还没有打败它。淡化磨难才是真正的胜利,并随之让它犹如飘渺的晨雾一样消失在无边无际、不断发展的历史中。
  忘我的境界是我们不断追求的,走出自得其乐的圈子,失去恒久的记忆,全身心地投入做某件事情,简单地说来,就是重新地画一个圆。没有做事时的狂热就不会有所成就。生活是精彩的,精彩来自于放弃。历史上的伟大时刻都是借助了强有力的思想得以展现的,比如天才和宗教工作。克伦威尔曾经说过:“当一个人不再受固于某个限定了的去向时,他就可以登峰造极。”也正因为这样,陶醉沉迷、鸦片和酒精等酷似神仙的感觉,才会对人们构成致命的诱惑。同样的道理,人们要把狂热融合在比赛和战争中,以此来模拟心灵的热烈与宽宏大量。
  Circles
  Ralph Waldo Emerson
  
  The eye is the first circle;the horizon which it forms is the second;and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without that every action admits of being ;that there is no end in naturebut every end is a beginning;that there is always another dawn risen on midnoonand under every deep a lower deep opens。
  This factas far as it symbolizes the moral fact of the Unattainablethe flying Perfectaround which the hands of man can never meetat once the inspirer and the condemner of every successmay conveniently serve us to connect many illustrations of human power in every department。
  There are no fixtures in not a mass of ;they will as if it had been statues of ice;here and there a solitary figure of fragment remainingas we see flecks and scraps of snow left in cold dells and mountain clefts in June and but are already passing under the same sentence and tumbling into the inevitable pit which the creation of new thought opens for all that is ;the new races fed out of the deposition of the made useless by hydraulics;fortificationsby gunpowder;roads and canalsby railways;ways;sailsby steam;steam by electricity。 。。

圆(3)
…
  Each new step we take in thought reconciles twenty seemingly discordant factsas expressions of one discordant opinions are reconciled by being seen to be two extremes of one principleand we can never go so far back as to preclude a still higher vision。
  …
  Valor consists in the power of selfrecoveryso that a man cannot have his flank turnedcannot be outgeneralledbut put him where you willhe stands。
  This can only be by his preferring truthto his past apprehension of truthand his alert acceptance of it from whatever quarter;the intrepid conviction that his lawshis relations to societyhis Christianityhis worldmay at any time be superseded and decease。
  …
  Conversation is a game of water morrow you shall find them stooping under the old packemancipates us from the oppression of the last speaker to oppress us with the greatness and exclusiveness of his own thoughtthen yields us to another redeemerwe seem to recover our rightsto bee what truths profound and executable only in ages and orbsare supposed in the announcement of every truth! In mon hourssociety sits cold and emptyknowing;possiblythat we can be fullsurrounded by mighty symbols which are not symbols to usbut prose and trivial and by a flash of his eye burns up the veil which shrouded all thingsand the meaning of the very furnitureof cup and saucerof chair and clock and testeris propertyclimatebreedingpersonal beauty and the likehave strangely changed their ;and literaturescitiesclimatesreligionsleave their foundations and dance before our ! Good as is discourse;silence is betterand shames no words would be necessary ;no words would be suffered。 电子书 分享网站

圆(4)
…
  The difference between talents and character is adroitness to keep the old and trodden roundand power and courage to make a new road to new and better ;a cheerfuldetermined hour;which fortifies all the pany by making them see that much is possible and excellent that was not thought ;events pass over him without much “See what I have overe;see how cheerful I am;see how pletely I have triumphed over these black events。” Not if they still remind me of the black 
  The one thing which we seek with insatiable desire is to forget ourselvesto be surprised out of our proprietyto lose our sempiternal memory and to do something without knowing how or why;in short to draw a new ;it is by as the work of genius and religion。“A man。”said Oliver Cromwell“never rises so high as when he knows not whither he is going。”Dreams and drunkennessthe use of opium and alcohol are the semblance and counterfeit of this oracular geniusand hence their dangerous attraction for as in gaming and war;to ape in some manner these flames and generosities of the heart。
