1. Change yourself.

“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”

欲变世界，先变其身。（越狱中引用的甘地名言）

“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.”

作为一个人，我们的伟大不在于有多大的能力去改造这个世界（那是原子时代的神话），而是去改变自己。

2. You are in control.

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”

没有人能不经我的允许伤害我。

3. Forgive and let it go.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

弱者从来不会仁慈，仁慈是强者的品性。

“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”

以牙还牙只会让世界更盲目

4. Without action you aren’t going anywhere.

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

少量操练比大量说教更有价值。

5. Take care of this moment.

“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”

我不想预见未来。我关心的是对此刻的负责。上帝没有赋予我我控制下一刻的能力。

6. Everyone is human.

“I claim to be a simple individual liable to errors like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”

我作为一个普通人也和其他人一样会犯错。可是我有足够的谦卑去为我的错误忏悔，为我的行为悔过。

“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.”

太肯定一个人的智慧是不明智的。坚强的人也有弱的时候，聪明的人也有犯错的时候。

7. Persist.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

有人忽略你，嘲笑你，最后打了你，不过你是胜利者。

8. See the good in people and help them.

“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”

我只把眼光投入到人们的优点上。我自己也不是完美无缺的，我不能冒昧地指责别人的过错。

“Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.”

一个人有多伟大是看他给别人做出多少贡献。

“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.”

我曾经以为领导者要有操纵他人的力量，但今天我明白作为领导者要与人民站在一起。

9. Be congruent, be authentic, be your true self.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

快乐是就是怎么想，就怎么说，就怎么做。

“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”

始终着眼于全面和谐的思想和言行。始终着眼于净化您的想法，一切会变好。

10. Continue to grow and evolve.

“Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.”

不断发展是生命的真谛，一个人总是守着他的教条只会带他走入歧途。
